From the keyboard of jch+@cs.cmu.edu (Jonathan Hardwick):
:There is also the "not supported here" syndrome, whereby sysadmins
:lock their users into using csh because:
:  a) sh and csh are the only shells which the sysadmins are prepared 
:     to answer questions about.
:  b) all the site-specific scripts are written in csh.
:
:On a related note : which Unix vendors ship their systems with
:anything more than sh and csh?

Convex ships tcsh standard and optionally ksh.  They also ship perl
standard, giving one absolutely no excuse to resort to csh for scripts.
