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
