DALL-E has given a new given a new "experimental" model to a few lucky users, it looks a bit better but it seems to have less variety currently. I don’t think they will catch back the competition. ControlNet is so good and I guess that MidJourney 5 and StableDiffusion 3 are going to be fully released before.

Millions of images have been removed from the training set for SD3 which is why a lot of people are sticking to 1.5.

1.5 is a lot more stupid than 2.1 in my experience.

Some models based on 1.5 produce good looking images if it produces what you asked for, but it's often a miss on more complex compositions.

We only start to see good 2.1 models like the Illuminati one. I have good hopes about the version 3, and I hope people will fine-tune it to their desires (that seems to mainly be young looking women with unrealistic bodies).
