I occasionally play around with vim, and it has a lot of commands that I like that don't exist on other editors (especially "o"), though it still puts me off that I have to switch modes to reposition the cursor. And I do remap my caps lock key to ESC, it is much faster to press and strains my hand less, and I would say that Caps Lock is 99% nuisance and 1% helpful anyway.
I also think that GVIM is better when possible (I don't use the mouse and menus, I like it because I find the shape-changing cursor very handy).
