Is that a problem in practice?

By cycling headlines, I mean hiding and showing them (see org-cycle).
Outline has ten different outline-show-* and outline-hide-* commands
with their respective key bindings.  Org-mode has one key for all
this: TAB.  I should perhaps not have put that much emphasis on this
aspect -- it just happens to be the reason why I personally find
outline-mode hard to use.

The main argument is that org-mode will be more familiar to users and
prospective Emacs hackers.
