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).
