Tcsh or csh is still the default shell on a lot of unix-like operating systems (non-Linux). And typically for these OS'es, bash must be installed separately. That said, there are those who believe you should never script in csh. http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/shell/csh-whynot/ If the goal is to have build scripts that work everywhere, it would be better to use /bin/sh, e.g. bourne, not bash. Almost every unix and unix-like operating system ships with /bin/sh and the results are very predictable. I try to write all my shell scripts in sh although occasionally some features of bash force me to use /bin/bash.
