this brings memories - university, first Unix exposure, Sun Ray terminals, "tcsh" as default shell, and me doing "find / -name ..." a lot.

I always wanted to ignore all errors form this (there was a lot of "permission denied"), but tcsh just didn't have a simple ability to do so. This taught me a valuable lesson about some software just being better than other. And to this day, I keep wondering you would people choose to use csh/tcsh voluntarily.

Tcsh originally was more user-friendly for interactive use. The rest is inertia.
