OSX used csh by default until the 10.3 series release.  You can still
(thankfully) select it.  IMHO, csh/tcsh is superior for interactive
use, and bash/ksh is superior for scripting.  It's amazing what happens
when you pick the right tool for the job; hammers are vastly superior
at pounding nails, while screw drivers are vastly superior at turning
screws.
