I recently started with a group that uses gitflow. It is my first experience with it. Thus my experience with it is pretty ignorant.

That said, it seems to be way too heavy weight to me. Especially given modern DVCS abilities. I literally cannot figure out the advantages of having a master branch and a development mainline vs just using tags.

Basically it seems to be a workflow with the assumption that branching is hard, based on a version control system where branching is easy.

TLDR; Ignorant view == skip it.
