C-h k is a shortcut for that function, while C-h f gets documentation on a function, while C-h a gives you fuzzy matching, which is wonderful when you're not sure what a command is called

I don't know why, I have zero issues remembering that cab deletes everything in your current set of parens and dumps you in insert mode, but emacs key chords just fly out of my head. If I am doing something like learning a new mode, I'll start using c-h k, but then a few months later when I need it again, it will be gone and I have to re learn it.
