I don't have a horse in this race, but I will note that I call Org commands with M-x /all the time/. There's just so much functionality that even when keybindings exist I may not know them. And of course I don't use the menu because that would require reaching for the mouse ;) For anyone else in this situation, I can't recommend strongly enough the package smex.el (I get it from http://github.com/nonsequitur/smex/, but it's also in the Emacs Lisp Package Archive). It offers ido-like completion for function names. For me, this makes the entire emacs environment, but Org especially, much more discoverable via the M-x interface.
