I can't imagine asking anyone to make heavy use of either of Vim nor
Emacs, without mapping the key directly next to the pinky finger's home
position – usually labelled “Caps Lock” – as a “Ctrl” key.

If you're wanting to make heavy keyboard use of any Unix-style program,
you'll be pressing “Ctrl” quite a lot. Your pinky finger will thank you
for mapping that key to a more easily-accessible position.

I don't see that using Vim makes that any less true than for Emacs; they
both require use of a lot of key chords with the “Ctrl” key.
