Ah, I'm not saying Caps Lock key is in a good spot. I'm just saying that CapsLock is sometimes a useful mode to use. -- e.g. as you say, if you can activate it some other way, it can still be useful; and there are other features which are similar and useful. I do think "replace caps lock with ctrl" isn't the best, though. -- Especially if you've got a mind for staying on home row, then I'd instead suggest putting the modifiers Shift/Ctrl/Gui/Alt as tap-hold keys underneath the home row keys.
