To add a couple of alternatives into your mix: Boston Business Computing
has a VMS editor emulator that runs on some unixes and NT. It'll cost
on the order of $300.00 to license on NT although you can obtain
trial downloads from them.
The vi that seems to be popular on Linux is vim. I am under the impression
that vim has been ported to a large number of platforms although I've not
seen it in use on VMS and do not know if it has been ported.
My most extensive use of Emacs was on Ultrix where I used it because of
it's EDT emulator. I recently attempted to run a binary port of NT emacs
but never got the edt elisp thing to run without error (this attempt was
short lived and may be worth further exploration).
