Well, I'll not say that it's great for everything, but there are
some rather nice uses for it.  Personally, I write lots of programs
for our biology department's microscopy lab (on a Sun and standard
unix).  We'll note that these are in C and Pascal, not csh.  However,
for tying together all of the loose ends that programming in
multiple languages leaves, I'm actually rather happy to write small
programs in csh that do the rest of the work.  I don't use csh
for the big and intricate research stuff, so I couldn't wouldn't
and shouldn't try to say, but for the little things it IS quite
nice -- file manipulations, probing directories, that sort of thing.
