Yeah, so do I. I mentioned in my other comment that I do not use it because of lack of 64-bit support and whatnot. If they do get there, and I could replace my Rebol 3 programs with Red, then I will switch to it. As for Rebol 3, I use https://github.com/Oldes/Rebol3.

For what it is worth, people ought to check out the Rebol cookbook. It is full of amazing stuff. So easy to implement somewhat complicated things. I am seriously wondering why it is not more popular. I would say a lot has to do with the fact that it has been open sourced too late (should have been open to begin with, IMO), and that there are too many different, but somewhat alike implementations[1]. It is confusing to a newcomer. They do not know what to use, why, and if it actually is under active development and will continue to be.

So I just dived in to the Rebol cookbook myself, and I came across Rebol 3 implementations of some of the goodies from there that are originally written in Rebol. For example I stumbled upon https://zolk3ri.name/cgit/rebol-cr-auth/ and https://gist.github.com/gchiu/5288312. They are both quite cool. It truly does make me love Rebol even more!
