I typically am used to the windows world where escape is "close window".
I am also a vi user (so I periodically hit escape out of habit). The basic point is that escape is a commonly used key for other applications. It should be used in functions that are common. Commenting out code is not a commonly used function (as opposed to something like find-usages, or goto declaration, or compile).
