Rebus have not yet got too entrenched.  Of course that does cut out 
the UK (find me a Bliss user under the age of 30 and I'll give you a 
knighthood!) and a number of Western European/North American 
countries but elsewhere where AAC is still relatively immature or 
where no symbol libraries are established, Bliss, properly promoted 
and well-supported can still do well (and is doing well, for example 
in Eastern Europe).  And of course Bliss is the only true AAC 
language (being elementally based) as opposed to the others that are 
pictographic vocabularies.
