Programming with Bourne or C shell

I have most of my interactive shell experience using bash on Linux and shell 
programing on Unix-like systems with Bourne shell.  Since FreeBSD's default 
shell is csh/tcsh, I was wondering if it's still considered an atrocity to 
develop shell scripts with C shell:

Are most FreeBSD users still using csh or tcsh has their interactive
shell and sh for programming?  I think it would be nice to use the same 
interactive and programming shell for consistency.

Thanks,
Mike
