A1111 (or rather Forge Neo at this point) can still be pretty useful (for a Windows user) if somebody just want a batteries-included approach because it makes it trivial to move back and forth between masking, manual inpainting, tacking on a high‑res fix and/or upscale, and swapping things out on the fly quickly.

Caveat: No idea how well A1111 and its variants function on Mac though.

These days I mostly use ComfyUI because after building out a node‑based workflow, it’s easy to export as a JSON file with websocket outputs that I can integrate into my programs.
