Yeah, traditionally vi clones would wait one second before interpreting an
escape char as an escape (you may have noticed a delay between pressing
escape in command mode and the error beep) and on a (*very*) slow or
error-full connection a pause of sufficient length in the middle of an
escape sequence could confuse things.

There was a guy I went to uni with and he was into Dvorak and different
types of keyboards.  He had one where you stick your fingers *into* it and
move them either up, down, left, or right depending on what key you wanted.
He had this mapped to Dvorak layout, and had set up vim's key mappings to
work well with it.  Each to own I guess.
