- It works.

- It has been working the same way since ~1985/86 when I started using
  it (under ConvexOS).  Yes, it had a history editor then.

- It's csh compatible.

- No incompatibilities to itself;  I don't have to constantly check 
  if I am using tcsh 19xx or tcsh 20yy or...

- BSD license.

- It's everywhere in the BSD world, Mac OS X and Solaris ship it, too.

- It's easy to build.
