The syntax is different. eshell is a lisp shell:
Welcome to the Emacs shell
~ $ (getenv "HOME")
/home/pjb
~ $

C-h f shell RET
C-h f eshell RET
shell runs bash (or whatever shell you configured).
eshell is implemented in emacs lisp, and gives you direct access to
emacs lisp, which is a much better language than any shell language (but
scsh of course).
