I couldn't agree more!  (remember http://www.perl.com/pub/language/versus/csh.html)

However as a *former* (LONG former!) csh user I still find my finger
memory sometimes types "which" before I think to type "type", so since I
have done the above already on my development systems I've replaced
/usr/bin/which with this quick little hack:

	#! /bin/sh
	:
	
	if [ "$1" = "-a" ] ; then
	        echo "$(basename $0): -a not supported in this version" 1>&2
	        exit 2
	fi
	for prog
	do
	        location=$(expr "$(type ${prog})" : '[^/]*\(.*\)$')
	        if [ -n "${location}" ] ; then
	                echo "${location}"
	        fi
	done
	
	exit 0
