Originally to compensate for a uselessly small laptop ESC key, I long
ago remapped "Caps Lock" to ESC:
To change CAPS_LOCK to ESCAPE, put into ~/.Xmodmap:
keycode 0x42 = Escape
clear Lock # Disable Caps-Lock
Now I use it on desktops as well, because I've never found a use for
"Caps Lock" [1]. Since ESC is used so much in vim, it seems useful to have
it on a single key. Consistent behaviour across all applications is an
advantage, I find.
YMMV (by a large margin ;-)

ways to convert after input.
