If there were a base bash-like shell, I'd use it so long as it had tab completion and up/down arrow for history recall.

You must be joking. tcsh has tab completion and up / down arrow history 
recall ... and in my feelings much better than in bash. But it all 
depends on how you configured it (bash and tcsh can be heavily modified 
by their rc files).

Interactive use of tcsh is one of my favorite features on interactive 
use of FreeBSD over other environments / OSes.
