for what it's worth, I listed factor in my resume, as programming language knowledge. the truth is there are many programming languages, and most of them are good.
it's a matter of pluralism of opinions, not a competition.
I like that factor can inherently extend and improve in basic language features. for example the extended syntax, and the many literal presentations. there are many good choices done in factor. the choice of a good concept or abstraction allows to build software more directly.
it's this directness that I most like.
of course, some other things can be improved or changed, or language features to be added as a vocab. have you simply and directly express your intent, without pursuit, without timing yourself. simply code like a good speaker takes a speech.
this is i think the (correct) aspiration to take in this profession.

One argument is that factor is recognized by github, and has many tasks
implemented on rosettacode.org. Also there's this website which runs code
pastes (cant remember the name though, there was a mail on this list) that
supports factor.
Factor is also recognized by ohloh.
