Out of the box midjourneyv5 generates great images but SD has controlnet, plethora of custom models to pick from, can run locally on most machines gives it an edge in my opinion.

ControlNet is great and is missing in MidJourney.

I find most of the community models for Stable Diffusion to be pretty poor. A lot of models made from merges, waifu only models, models made from very small training datasets, and still stuck on 1.5 while 2.1 is much better overall.

However you have the amazing LoRas for 2.1 that are very powerful. The community is a bit ignoring them, but I think the potential is great.

But MidJourney is a lot better at text to image and image to image for now.
