Well, you've just asked an eternal question - why yet another programming language? So - do you suggest ppl should refrain from trying their new ways? :-)

And yes, Rebol like syntax might feel kind of weird, when coming from other environments. But it is clean, unnecessary punctuation free, and once used to, very obvious and productive.

As for GUIs, Rebol featured custom one, Red uses binding to native widgets. Both aproaches have their advantages/disadvantages. You can bet, it will improve and I am the one, who would like to see "Metro" supported as far as Windows is concerned ....
