You already mentioned some of the actively maintained Forths e.g. with
company backup. And most Forthers (not that there are many) use their
own private Forth systems. You restricted yourself to Win11 desktop
systems, but you'll find more widespread usage for embedded systems
e.g. with ESP32Forth or Mecrisp Stellaris.

For experimentation in a Win11 text console you might find MinForth
interesting:
