You're going to get a lot of these words that seem at first blush to be empty neologisms but which fulfill a definite need. Proactive is one. You could say active but that doesn't stress the idea that you are taking an action with the specific intent of forestalling some undesired condition that reactive has to wait for before it gets to be used.
