I am right there with you. I did the same thing, and now when I jump into Vim from anywhere, it's so much easier. Though I really do like having the Capslock key remapped to escape.
I much prefer mapping caps lock to ctrl. That reach is much more difficult for me
Then you can easily use ctrl with your left thumb.
At 120 lines, I consider my .vimrc quite light.. Although I'm not sure what others will think.

I bind my CAPSLOCK to ECAPE that way instead of the escape key killing my hand my left pinky finger can just naturally get me out of insert mode by hitting CAPSLOCK.
I actually started binding my CAPSLOCK key to F5, and I have F5 set as a tmux attention key, but I've never had too much problem with left pinky finger hitting escape.. A side benefit of this is that F5 is mapped to refresh for a lot of apps (Firefox, for one) so I can hit capslock to refresh a page.

I'm a React Developer that uses Vim, and whilst I have reduced my .vimrc down a lot since I started playing with vim, I still use about 15 plugins such as Deoplete, tern, ale, fzf, a language pack (I'm always messing around learning new languages), and then a selection of Tim Pope addons.

This was misguided and after a year of wasted productivity and wasted time fiddling with plugs and dealing with broken stuff (surely by my own hand) I switched to a professional IDE and I rapidly became a much better developer.
I use vim constantly now but in it's most plain vanilla form, for the purpose of editing files when logged into Linux systems. That's all I use it for.
I really wish however that every Linux system had a clone of the old DOS edit command which was beautifully simply and straightforward and met most needs highly intuitively.
As a sidenote: can I just say that PyCharm is an incredible IDE and I can recommend it heartily to anyone. If your job is programming then it is many times over worth paying the money for the professional edition.

Excellent for editing config files through the terminal.

On my keyboard I need ALT GR for [. On a side note, I'm rather disappointed that the ESC key didn't get updated with modern keyboards. The keyboard vi was designed on had ESC where Capslock now resides.
I despise and hate with passion the Capslock key. On linux I always run setxkbmpap -option caps:escape. I wish the same could be done on Windows. I got used to it so much that I find myself from time to time writing catpital letters when I'm on Windows or foreign setup. My hate for the key came years before I thought about the possibility of remapping it. Similarly, I hate the F1, a key that when accidentally pressed…
