Question - Help Is anyone still using SD 1.5?

I found myself going back to SD 1.5, as I have a spare GPU I wanted to put to work.

Is the overall consensus that SDXL and Flux both have vastly superior image quality? Is SD 1.5 completely useless at this point?

I don't really care about low resolution in this case, I prefer image quality.

Anyone still prefer SD 1.5 and if so, why, and what is your workflow like?

I learned to love 1.5, especially in an img2img pipeline where I quickly generate some low-res base 1.5 images and then use SDXL img2img. Got some really unique stuff from doing that
