Yes, and it's successor is the Gemini protocol,
which is pretty much used nowadays. See also

FWIW, dillo now supports Gemini and Gopher with plugins.
The plugins work fine for me and are easy to install.
Press "home" when inside dillo to get the plugins and
follow the instructions in README.md

I thought this group was about "Progress"?

Bringing gopherspace back to modern operating systems, browsers and mobile devices
Return to the Gopher protocol's low bandwidth and high efficiency, right from your mobile phone or modern computer! Quickly connect to downloads, services and servers maintained across the global Gopherspace using the Overbite Project's free open source gopher client software.

What's Gopher good for? Gopher isn't a "mini-Web": it's an efficient, low-impact way to collect and organize documents, files and services. Its hierarchical nature and menu-document model complement the Web and FTP, and it is faster to access and simpler to process.
