Many things are similar. What differences bother a particular user will vary. In many cases, zsh's approach is better so the value of crippling it is questionable. A common example is not splitting variables at spaces which is much better if you might have filenames with spaces in but it helps if you bother to learn to use arrays. Another example is the behaviour when wildcards don't match any files. Bash leaves the word unchanged with the wildcards in place which is less robust and fairly nasty but if you're inclined to be lazy can save on quoting.

So don't try to make zsh mimic bash, use it as-is and whenever something bothers you, try to understand both how the behaviour can be changed and consider the actual merit of the options.

Yeah need to look more into how to configure zsh, I'm accustomed to the way bash does things by default. Quickly of the top of my head are getting a pager with multiple columns of output when listing the files of dirs with many files and the readline behavior of deleting directories instead of whole paths when pressing M-backspace.
