Work gave me an MBP. I am a vim user, so I need my Escape key.

Mapping Caps Lock to Escape is easy to do now, even through the Settings GUI.

I am not trying to convince you to stay with Mac, I am just saying that this particular thing helped me immensely.

It always surprises me when people remap the caps lock key. I find that I use it quite often.

For vim you case use 'C-[' I believe which does the same thing as escape.
