I actually learned VI using DOS and the Watcom C/C++ compiler and 32 bit dos extender, as it included a vi clone.

Maybe it should be included in the list. It can still be downloaded from the openwatcom project, https://openwatcom.org/ftp/manuals/1.5/vi.pdf

Same here, but on Windows 3.1 or OS/2 in my case.

I think use of the Watcom compiler led me to Vi way back then, and I am still trying to learn to not use the arrow keys.

This should definitely be included! Never heard of it before.
