Tom Christiansen's essay "Csh Programming Considered Harmful" was commonly passed around the early internet and lists all the reasons why scripting in csh is terrible. I always considered csh purely for interactive use (where it was light years ahead of sh) and switched to ksh (or perl back in those days) for scripting.
