Actually, no. It causes more confusion since the options taken by
windows commands will be different. Adding aliases, just gives a false
sense of similarity. As soon as the transitioned user starts using
these commands, he'll realise he'll have to learn the Linux way
anyway.

So, its not so simple. Been there, done that!
