"basically 1-1 compatible"

careful, there are footguns in those words. It may seem like it's 1-1, but it's not. There are subtle differences especially in escapes. Bash uses \ escapes. Zsh uses % escapes. Zsh has builtin wildcard expansion. There are other differences as well but you can use the emulate command to emulate bash so it actually is 1-1.

Also, once you've made the switch to zsh - checkout oh-my-zsh (https://ohmyz.sh/)
