Yes! I know what you mean and it annoys me sometimes, too. Particularly: 1) Hitting escape pops you out and left. So insert - escape - insert - escape, etc, gradually moves the cursor left. This feels weird to me. Everyone calls it "insert mode", but perhaps it would be better called "append" mode, because append is the exact opposite of command mode, in the sense that a - ESC - a - ESC, etc, leaves you in place. 2) It makes it annoying to delete the last n words I typed. I want to go, "oh, mistake! ESC db..." but that leaves the last letter hanging around. I recently realized you can do "ESC daw...", at least.
