I had the same issues with that repo in addition to some early release controversy around its provenance.

I ended up using https://github.com/easydiffusion/easydiffusion

which has served me well so far.

Easy Diffusion is, uh, easily my favorite UI.

While it has a fraction of the features found in stable-diffusion-webui, it has the best out of the box UI I've tried so far.The way it enqueues tasks and renders the generated images beats anything I've seen in the various UIs I've played with.

I also like that you can easily write plugins in Javascript, both for the UI and for server-side tweaks.

The problem is those features/extensions in A1111 are absolutely killer once you use them. I assume they have ControlNet support now but I couldn’t do what I often do without regional prompter. Adetailer is also amazing.
Easy Diffusion does much less. No ControlNet support. Only just got LoRa support (at least in the beta channel). If A1111 is "professional", Easy Diffusion is maybe "hobbyist".

I use A1111 as a tool, but if I want to goof off, I queue up a bunch of prompts in Easy Diffusion and end up with a gallery built in real time. Its smaller feature set make it great for that.

I like to run A1111 in --api mode and write my own script to drive it over HTTP.
VoltaML is making good progress. InvokeAI is also pretty good (but not as optimized/bleeding edge).
