Not quite ... there are a few places in vim that even this won't work.
Try /^V for example. [Bonus points for finding others.]

Besides, I think his point was that he won't ever be in vim long enough to
have to use either the ESC or the !.

This sentence would be seven words long if it were six words shorter.

Exactly my point.  However, I have actually started using vim, but only for cvs commit 
and only because emacs can take a long time to load, and waiting that long to write 
only one sentence seems like a waste.   Please don't tell anyone I use vim.  I should 
probably use the -m option and write the message on the command line.  Oh well, at 
least now I've used vim and can say by experiance that emacs is WAY better.
