That is the opposite of true. csh does indeed have a more "programmery" syntax (it was designed to have a more C-like syntax), but for actual programming it is far less useful for actual scripting due to inconsistencies in the syntax, braindead quoting, half-assed IO redirection, and a number of other issues. There's a "Csh Programming Considered Harmful" article that jleader already linked to. Csh may feel more programmery, but if you do actual programming use a Bourne shell (or Plan 9's rc).
