The last version of PC-DOS I bought was 7.0 (pre-2000), but I doubt that
it has seen much development since then. It is still one of the fastest
DOSes, but other than this, I don't think there is much in PC-DOS that
makes it stand out from the others.


 There is a definite advantage to PCDos2000.  It includes Rexx, a plain
text programming language useful for scripts and writing gui software.
What would you use it for?  How about javascript capability run from the OS
rather than adding to core?  There are numerous libraries for rexx such as
hooking into curl and other web utilities.
Rexx is nice but you don't need pcdos2000 to use rexx. Isn't there a version of rexx that runs on just about any platform known to man?
