I hate csh also.  I've used it for a long time.  I find scripts easier
to write in it than in bash though.

I prefer the user experience of bash.  I think bash style tab completion is
better than the esc completion of csh.  And I like easily flipping through
the command history.  Most of the stuff I prefer is a natural consequence of
using the GNU readline, except for the ways that tab complete is better
than esc completion (tab twice for a list of options).
