Our verdict

Fooocus hides most Stable Diffusion settings so you can type a prompt and get a good SDXL image, which made it a favourite for beginners. Its README now says it is in limited long-term support with bug fixes only and no plans to adopt newer models such as Flux, pointing users to Forge, ComfyUI or SwarmUI instead. It remains a simple choice if SDXL is all you need.
