My favorite has been locally hosting Automatic1111's UI. The setup process was super easy and you can get great checkpoints and models on Civitai. This gives me complete control over the models and the generation process. I think it's an expectation thing as well. Learning how to write the correct prompt, adjust the right settings for the loaded checkpoint, and running enough iterations to get what you're looking for can take a bit of patience and time. It may be worth learning how the AI actually 'draws' things to adjust how you're interacting with it and writing prompts. There's actually A LOT of control you gain by locally hosting - controlNet, LORA, checkpoint merging, etc. Definitely look up guides on prompt writing and learn about weights, order, and how negative prompts actually influence generation.
Ive started with stablediffusion_webui, i feel you !!
