I love that gates exist in the game and it is clear how you make them. But I don't sprinkle them around as a public utility in anything like the numbers some folks are talking about here. When it comes to gates and other powerful magic items, I like to follow the same principle that applies when your toddler asks for help climbing a tree: 'You can do it if you can do it'. It's perfectly clear in the rules how a gate gets made, and it is easy to imagine the outlines of an NPC who can make one, but how many PC's will go to the effort to make themselves capable of it? I take that as my measure of how widely accessible the ability really is.
