Strange. Viewed from this side it looked as if people told you that,
yes, tcsh sucks for scripting (and never, ever, even think about using
csh), but is lovely for interactive use. To which you seemed to
answer "But what about scripting?"...
So maybe we could agree on
a) [t]csh sucks for any serious scripting (anything containing more
than maybe a foreach loop, some if's, and some simple variable
substitutions), in which case bash would be a much better choice.
b) tcsh is just fine (and, depending on taste, maybe even superior to
bash) for light interactive use...
Which, incidentally, would be how I use the two :-)
