^C and C-[ is escape in vim too, so it's not /as/ painful if you change your habits.

Actually ^C and ESC aren't exactly equivalent.

  CTRL-C          Quit insert mode, go back to Normal mode.  Do not check for
                  abbreviations.  Does not trigger the |InsertLeave| autocommand
                  event.
^[ however is. Personally, I use ^[ to avoid reaching to actual ESC and ^C to exit any weird states entered by misclicks.

Notably, ctrl-c doesn't apply your changes from ctrl-v mode across all other lines. Minor, but still.
