Yes, it's the only model that manages to get text right, and the results are usually pretty consistent. It's a big step forward.
Base SDXL and SD1.5 with the help of controlnet can both do text too. I forgot Deep Floyd/IF can as well.
Control nets are kind of "cheating", though, they're a form of image-to-image where you provide them with something to trace over or otherwise guide them. I think in this area the open-source field has (briefly) fallen behind, we'll need another round of catchup. That's fine, though. Let competition drive hard.
