I just don't managed to like colorForth.

Forth is great, but colorForth takes it one step to far.

It is very difficult to know when to not add a seemingly cool feature. Specially when you where right against most odds before.

My understanding was that part of the motivation for ColorForth was to help Moore continue programming as his eyesight deteriorated.

i'd like to know the source. and the reasons i know long time ago are about more innovative work. like more compression, keyboard layout optimization, like having the code compiled in the source and utilizing the space to embed the meaning so there is no multiple parsing and compiling. even vars are living inthe code alive. and others i don't remember now.
