'[' is a real command.  It is official shorthand for the "test" command.
It exists on just about all Unix systems.  Delete it not, lest you invite
almost certain doom upon yourself.

: also I see two listing for zsh, what is the difference. 

Real difference there is not, but leave it alone all the same.
