I wouldn't go *that* far, but they certainly need a stern talking too.
(Some of the newer versions of tcsh are at least pretty stable and bug-free,
but they still have the design limitations of the csh, and are effectively
non-portable (most Unixes don't have working tcsh versions)).
If it wasn't for the limitations and portability concerns about tcsh, I
would prolly use it as my login shell. /bin/sh is much more powerful, but the
syntax is certainly... interesting. (Of course, bash's extensions, which I
make liberal use of, aren't exactly "portable", either.)
