Ok. I just did ls, and yes it forms multi columns.
However, when i do
ls | grep xyz
it doesn't produce the result eshell would. i.e. the multi column
produced by ls seems to be a done as display formatting, not as its
real output. I might be wrong... but i mean the bottom line is that "
ls | grep some" have different behavior in unix shell and eshell.

So, possibly the eshell's "ls" command forming multiple columns is a
bad design. Because after all it is supposed to emulate the unix
shell behavior and "ls | grep xyz" is common idiom.
Yes, it _is_ supposed to emulate a Unix shell. But I just tried that
same pipe both on GNU/Linux and on MS-Windows, and in both cases "ls"
still forms multiple columns even in a pipe. So I don't see anything
wrong with how Eshell's "ls" works.
