Always a risk when R&D is invested in a new product....

Rebol is the best thing I've seen happen in programming in a long
time. IMHO
Any criticisms that I have felt or expressed of rebol or RT
(speaking for myself here), I believe come from the fact that
RT has really done it the hard way. They seem to have gotten
their start as a "startup company", probably with venture
capital.
This is very different from the way that (as far as I know)
perl and python developed. (I believe they developed primarily
from the educational environment)
RT's approach has been very admirable, very daring, and
having been part of a "startup" (that failed BTW), I can
identify with it, and besides the implementation itself,
that's why I remain "loyal".
