Out of pure curiosity I'm wondering why FreeBSD uses the C-shell as default. I have a quick tendency to switch to bash but shortly I expect to be working in the field so I'm wondering how much one would be expected to know the C-shell. With out knowing I would expect the C-shell to have a smaller foot print than bash (because it's older) and that maybe certain devices would prefer one shell over the other. But I have no idea really. Can anyone shed any light on this as to how much the C-shell is still and will be used? Thanks.
