I didn't grow up with it as the only option (I started using Emacs a
couple of years ago), but it has on occasion come in handy--for example,
on my school's Macs (which are the closest thing they have to a usable
computer) they do have Emacs installed--but it's version 21.3 (not even
21.4!), with no graphical support, and there's no working ALT/META key,
so I have to settle for ESC. As a rule, I just try not to use the school
computers.
So no, you're not the only one who finds ESC useful on occasion :-).
