As with any time Forth comes up, that post generated some heat in the comments, but it seems reasonably civilized.
FWIW, the managing editor of Hack a Day lives in the same city as me, and he asked me to write that article. Anyhow, I've been lurking here for a while without using AmForth, but I'm probably going to be getting back into it -- actually using it in projects as opposed to really playing with floating point math. (Although I want to clean up that library some.)
