I don't know why anyone would be masochistic enough to use gitflow.
In my mind it means there's something else wrong with your development process, probably a combination of too many cooks in the kitchen and junior developers doing 'experiments' that aren't closely related to a user story
During those 10 years, Git itself has taken the world by a storm, and the most popular type of software that is being developed with Git is shifting more towards web apps—at least in my filter bubble. Web apps are typically continuously delivered, not rolled back, and you don't have to support multiple versions of the software running in the wild.
This is not the class of software that I had in mind when I wrote the blog post 10 years ago. If your team is doing continuous delivery of software, I would suggest to adopt a much simpler workflow (like GitHub flow) instead of trying to shoehorn git-flow into your team.
If, however, you are building software that is explicitly versioned, or if you need to support multiple versions of your software in the wild, then git-flow may still be as good of a fit to your team as it has been to people in the last 10 years.
I wouldn't say Gitflow enjoyers are "masochistic". We're just caught up in our own bubble of web development, which is why we can't fathom any other workflow aside from CI-centric ones.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

In defense of Gitflow, the attributed creator Vincent Driessen posted a "note of reflection" in the blog post that started it all.
