On most European keyboard layouts, typing <C-[> will give you Emacs-fingers.

Agreed. Habitual use of <C-c> can subtly break plugins and autocmds.

Link not needed: everything is explained in the doc.

This link is important enough that it should be in the answer and not in a comment

Note that <C-c> is not exactly the same as <Esc>.

@durron597 On a QWERTY keyboard, Ctrl may be just as far from home row, but it does have an important difference: it's below the home row. You only have to move your finger to press it, whereas with Esc you have to rotate your whole hand somewhat. Also, the <C-[> has a nice symmetry to it (both little fingers moving in opposite directions).
