At one time I used tcsh and had found a native Windows version, not the Cygwin one. When the Linux distros defaulted to bash I went with the flow. I do miss tcsh sometimes. You could do stuff with an alias that requires writing a function in bash. I do very little shell scripting and am not very good at it in any shell, particularly PowerShell.
