No! I use the "Caps" key a hundred times a day! I have it mapped to output "Esc" though...

I had it mapped to enter at one point for faster copy pasting of code. Ctrl+c, ctrl+v, pinky capslock enter, ctrl+c etc.

Mine's set to the Application/Menu key on tap, and as a Fn modifier when held, so the WASD keys act as the arrows, Q and E as PageUp/Down, and R and F as Home and End. It's gotten so convenient I do that subconciously on keyboards that don't do that, and I end up with SSSSSSSSS or EEEEEEEEEEE.
