I disagree, for the simple reason that ^O is discoverable (indeed, it 
and other hotkeys are displayed on-screen) whereas the user has no way 
to know that 'esc-ZZ' is the magic incantation that will get them back 
out.

(Or what to do should they have mashed some keys and got into an edit 
 mode, and don't want to save their changes)

vi is quite powerful, but friendly to n00bs it is very much not.
