I tried the CAPS approach and tried using it via my left pinky, but find it too awkward to use - but this is probably a very individual thing and it's good that Vim supports it via its remapping capabilities. But I hear you, sometimes if I have to type the string "jj" I get really confused, but this happens not very often.
