We have discussed this frequently :-)
100% compatiblity with MS-DOS is the goal of FreeDOS 1.x. But later,
with 2.x+, there can be other goals.
Many tools of FreeDOS's distro are better than MS-DOS's and even
better than the tools of Dr-DOS.
I don't think that it could be an alternative to windows/linux in all
parts, but in some (I am using): yes. Mpxplay and QV are examples.
I don't think, that FreeDOS needs a big goal, but my opinion is, that
the focus of versions of FreeDOS > 1.x should be to add as many
featues, with may be exists even now, as possible.
I am afraid that the goal will be "an OS for emulators/virtualizers".
But it should be more :-)
