There may be other reasons for using bash, but I wouldn't say that it being the current default is one. Apple doesn't rely on your choice of shell for anything.
Of course you're right Adam. Nevertheless, inexperienced users will run into trouble because recipes for doing things will usually involve bashish commands. For somebody who is not at home on the command-line, it's non-trivial to translate "export foo=bar" into something that tcsh will understand. So I would still recommend switching to bash (or zsh, my favorite shell). Best Thomas
