The Fast Hours take
Rory and Drew respect ComfyUI as the real, node-based ceiling on control — Rory's own benchmark for maximum flexibility and still Ingi's home base for full parameter-level tuning (Ep. 79, 83) — but rarely recommend it, since its node graphs feel more like 'software development' than art direction (Ep. 11) and even Finn, who 'respects it deeply,' calls it too much plumbing outside pre-built partner nodes (Ep. 75). Some teams are moving away from it now that Claude and MCP handle orchestration instead (Ep. 73).

Receipts about ComfyUI
“They're super easy to make. … But it's a lot scarier than what it actually is once you get into it.”
“It's the freedom to be able to do anything you want because it's open source. … That's yours alone.”
“Comfy wires beyond me … it just looks like connecting nodes between random objects, and that's no longer art direction for me.”
