I've developed on a MacBook Pro for the last 5 years in vim and I have never touched the escape key or any of the F keys, ever.
If you're using vim and reaching for the escape key you are doing it wrong imho. Rebind esc to something else (like capslock) or learn another pattern that has more ergonomic value.
