Funny, I can do that in ksh too and do it on Solaris, Linux, HP-UX and AIX (my current work environment).

Whenever possible, I write POSIX-compliant scripts which will run in bash, ksh, ash, and any POSIX shell.

For interactive use, and when I need some non-standard features, I use bash.

bash and csh !
I do use bash and someimes csh too.
bash was one of the old shells and hence used for most progs.
csh gives flexibility to prog. concepts.
