I was a loyal Gnuplot user for many years until I got fed up with a bug where tick labels wouldn't be centered with ticks in LaTeX output without some manual hacks. I can see from one of the posts that this issue still exists.

Plus it was easier to just do everything in Python and not have to use a separate process to plot in the end.

Nevertheless, I still find it useful. Nothing else seems as easy to quickly plot an analytical function: `gnuplot -p -e "sin(x)"`

In my experience, if you send the bugs to their bug tracker they are immediately corrected and/or a workaround is suggested. The devs are very helpful.
