Michael Nemeth has been collecting names of commercial programs written in
Forth.  His list appeared in Forth Dimensions this month (31 programs
including VP-Planner, Zoomracks, VALDOCS, Easywriter, Neon, and Starflight).
Since Forth is heavily used in instrument control, in the majority of cases it
is part of an industrial or other process control application.  I'm a hobbyist,
and I use Forth more than C or assembler.  Its the only language I know for
which it is actually good practice to "design at the terminal"!
