Stable Diffusion 1.5 is state of the art... Heck, its not even close. But you have to run your own instance and dive into the ridiculous number of tools/models the community has developed to take advantage of it.
Midjourney has a strong (and improving?) base model and probably automates the usage of some similar tools behind the scenes. So on the surface, it is indeed better.
