Ctrl-c can be used to exit insert mode as well. Caps-lock key was also historically the location of the ctrl key.

Ctrl-c is a poor substitute for escape as it messes up your history and stops things like mutiline visual inserts working.

You’re better off using ctrl-[ which is exactly the same as escape in functionality.
