csh as my interactive shell, because I particularly want 'history',
'noclobber', and 'ignoreeof', because I prefer alias to 'export'ing
functions, and because I find the csh style for 'control' commands
(foreach, while, ...) fits my mindset better and so I can usually
remember them without looking in TFM.

sh (vanilla Bourne) for writing shell scripts for my lib, because they
go faster.
