Enki verdict
Stable Diffusion takes the edge with a 8.3/10 editor score. Unbeatable for control, cost, and privacy if you're willing to tinker; not for anyone who wants one-click polish. That said, Adobe Firefly is the better pick if commercially safe, enterprise-friendly training data matter most to you.
