I can't answer all your issues, but I remember using vim and elvis in DR-DOS and FreeDOS. nvi, which is the vi in NetBSD and FreeBSD, has not been ported to DOS. I am in FreeBSD with base-system vi as I type this. Eli Zaretskii ported Emacs to DOS, using DJGPP. I used this for some time. It's been years since I've used any Emacs. Elvis has not been updated in many years, as far as I know. I believe vim is still in active development. Elvis in DOS was monstrously slow going through a 3 MB text file in DOS, but no such problem in Linux (Slackware).
