Forth scores when you're writing a small program for storing in EPROM or stuff like that. And that means that it's small enough to vet thoroughly for errors.

And of course, Forth also has the reputation of producing executables that are smaller than well-written assembler :-)

Writing a KLOC and more program in Forth would probably be a bit of a nightmare.
