Personally, I pretty laid back on the changing style of English, it always
has, and will continue to do so.
Some of us are pre-programmed to resist change - such as spelling
'programme' as program (but only when it refers to computers).

"Proactive" and "reactive", instead of "active" and "reactive"?

Not 'instead'.
"Active" is essentially a neutral word (the opposite being "passive").
"Proactive" means actively taking the initiative.
"Reactive" means only taking an action in response to some action or
situation.
