If you don't like reaching out to the top-left Esc key, use Ctrl-[ (to Vim it's the same as Esc). You can reach them with two fingers of your right hand with very little movement away grom the home position -- if you got [ right of the P on a QWERTY layout, I think you can reach Ctrl-[ quite easily with, hm... let's see... I'd say the little finger on (right) Ctrl and the middle finger on [. Or you can use both hands and the left Ctrl instead.
