For me at Columbia Gopher was almost completely gone, although the university's public terminals still used it for the intranet. I used pine for email only, preferring trn for netnews. (I would soon switch to Emacs VM for email and slrn for Usenet, both of which I still use today.) I used X Window terminals, but even there most use was the above via xterm. Netscape was horribly unreliable and slow whether via X or on PCs/Macs; the fact that we used it at all regardless shows how immediately and obviously compelling the web was.
