After using a keyboard with Esc even further away than usual, I've found myself using Ctrl-[ more often. I should look into remapping capslock.

Please do that, it's a simple option in the settings of any OS.

Why use such a convenient tool as vim if you have to make a weird combination for the single most important key in your editor ?

I know one gets used to anything but still.

(I personally believe it doesn't make you that faster but it does take away the dullness/repetitiveness out of editing)
