Not for scripting:
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/shell/csh-whynot/
I work in an environment containing FreeBSD, Solaris, and Linux boxes.
Using a subset of BASH that also runs under the Korn Shell helps avoid
portability surprises if I want to get something running on a different
box, or if I post a script to a mailing list.
If you're already in the habit of writing BASH and you have /bin/ksh
installed, running "ksh -n" will syntax-check your script without
executing it. I *think* pdksh does the same thing.
