I don't know about that, as a user/programmer/semi-novice shell programmer I've
found sh to be the most lack-luster, ksh to be the most antagonistic, and
csh/tcsh to be the one I've felt the most comfortable with. Course that could
just be a remenant of my C experience, and probably not the most objective
statement around.
There it is, if anyone cares.
