Invoke is actually one of the easier tools to use - providing the ability to download model checkpoints in place, relatively easy inpainting, etc.

ComfyUI is definitely for the bleeding edge.

Forge is a good middle ground. With the huge number of tutorials available on YouTube (Olivio's channel is good for novices), I don't think it's that particularly difficult for beginners to grok, but it does require some patience and follow through.

If all you care about is generating some generic looking images for your blog and don't want any flexibility, you can always pay for a subscription to Midjourney.
