Forth is good for many things on systems of all sizes.

I take great exception to the notion that powerful hardware means there 
is no need for efficient programming tools or systems that facilitate 
the programer's task. The history of technology is that whatever the 
size of the platform, users' desires to use it will grow. There will 
always be a place for technology that can use platforms more 
efficiently, and if it can get the work done quicker in many cases, so 
much the better.

Cheers,
Elizabeth
