I find pushing ctrl to be at an extremely inconveninet position. Do you look at the keyboard when you type? If so it might explain it. Being a touch typist my left pinky is 1 character away from Capslock so it's way easier to press.

No, I generally don't. But thinking of it, I don't know where my pinky usually is. I mean, I don't always keep it on "a": after all, I have to press Shift pretty often anyway. And Ctrl is pretty close: I don't even need to move my finger to put fingertip on Ctrl, I just use side of the finger to push it.

I tried to use Caps Lock instead of Ctrl, and it wasn't uncomfortable or anything, I just didn't get used to it. I don't remember how it happened that I started to use Ctrl again: maybe it's because I don't always use 1 computer and Ctrl is too important of a key to be looking for every time I need it on somebody else's keyboard. Anyways, currently Caps is Caps and I don't really use it often. Or maybe even ever.
