Sure, but caps lock is on the home row, and escape is certainly not. I usually use ctrl + c. But that's rather... emacs'y. If you need to shout, just bind escape to caps lock, and caps lock to escape.
Oh and you forgot to mention, turn of vi compatibility mode, because even the bugs are mimicked.
Here's my .vimrc if anyone cares.
