Hmmm... I must be insane.  I have written several things in csh script, and
I find it considerably easier to write than sh/ksh script.  I actually
prefer being able to use C-style operators instead of having to go look
up obscure "test" operators all the time.

Methinks it's a matter of personal preference, like choice of editors.
(Actually, my perference is to use ksh for interactive use and csh
for scripts.)
