I've had a reply to the OP pending for a while, and John beat me to
actually pushing <send> on the ideas I wanted to convey. I too
ignored "s" for a long time, but once it became part of my
muscle-memory, I found myself using it on a regular basis.

That said, Vim is a sufficiently malleable editor that, if this is
the way you want it to work, it will bend to your will. I guess I
just don't find typing "$" all that onerous. If I had to make some
functionality easier to type, I'd lean towards remapping something
that has functionality duplicated elsewhere like "+" vs. <cr> in
normal mode (they both do the same thing, and outside of VimGolf, I
don't use either in my day-to-day vimming; likewise the underscore
and minus don't see much use if any in my day-to-day).
