Wake up and smell the coffee (sorry for the cliche).

1) The ESC key is dead.  It is an unmanagable concept.  If you
   don't know why, I'll be glad to explain it.

2) C-S, C-Q are too commonly used in the communcations protocol
   to be useful in applications.  I hurts me to say this, since
   I'm generally an EMACS fan too.

DEC is not causing the problem.  The problem is applications which
have not evolved to co-exist with modern terminal/communications
standards.
