AFAIR, Carsten prefers it as Org mode too.
That said, I think the names are somewhat context dependent. The manual
prefers Org mode, following the convention: <Name> mode. On the list
you will see people use org-mode because that is the actual command to
turn on Org mode. Sometimes this is shortened as org, or Org. Academic
discussions of Org mode are bound by the rules of grammar. I guess that
is why you might Org-mode instead of org-mode: proper nouns are
capitalised.
