I think that's the de facto control key on Macbooks since they aren't in the bottom left corner. It'd be cool if we could configure a single caps lock keypress to Esc and holding it down to Control.

That is possible using Karabiner/Karabiner-Elements. I currently have Caps Lock mapped to Escape and Hyper (for vi like arrows)
I use mine for escape and hadn’t considered using it for control. Is it more comfortable?
It's indispensable because OS X has Emacs bindings in all standard controls. Control A, E, K, P, N, C, D.

These keybindings are one of the only reasons I have stayed with OS X. I'm surprised that others use Cmd-arrow combinations instead.

Since I'm just using it for ctrl+c in a terminal, it's much more comfortable.
