Only if all you ever do is insert text :)

While I can only speak for myself, I spend a small fraction of my
time actually inserting/changing text. The remainder of the time
is spent on things like navigating the text,
copying/moving/deleting/(in/de)denting text, reformatting, etc.
By habit, I simply hit <esc> at the end of every insertion.
Rarely does my next edit happen right where I left off.
