You've done a poll? :-)

But do you use RET instead of `C-m' in these keystrokes because that's
what `describe-bindings' say or because you prefer to hit `RET'?
Anyway, I've grepped through the *.texi files, and there are 152 matches
for `C-c C-m ...' and 8 for `C-c RET'. And all of those 8 are for RET
as the final character in the keystroke.
If you expand to "C-. C-m"/"C-. RET" it's 170/20. (All those additional
ones are from mule.texi.)
It seems the mode writers' intentions are pretty clear: They mean for
the users to type C-c C-m ..., but `describe-bindings' tells them to type
C-c RET.
