Regarding remote nature of Esc key, I solved it for myself by
I using mini-keyboard, 28x10cm. I love it. Everything is nearer
on such keyboard, fingers need to travel less. I heard other people
remap Esc key to some other less distant key.
I don't remember where I got the idea, but I've been very happy with
mapping double commas to ESC:
" Make double commas into Escape.

I tend to use CTRL-C (which isn't exactly ESC but tends to function
like it in vim) or CTRL-[ instead of ESC. No remapping needed,
though your terminal configuration may get in the way.
On my powerbook I changed caps lock to be ctrl, and now can achieve
the effect of ESC ( via ctrl-[ ) without either hand leaving the home
row :)
