Another thing I like about Gopher is that it was designed essentially to be a mounted read-only networked filesystem. Works well with the whole UNIX philosophy of "everything is a file".

Oh I didn't recall that part, might have to relearn some things of Ye Olde Gooden Times, but if so, that's wonderful!

~~Perhaps there is something like mount.gopher in the AUR already....?~~

I'm not sure about the Linux world, a quick search reveals https://github.com/ewe2/gopherfs which seems like it'd do the trick.
