I use standard navigation too, and even when I make a call not in my contacts, I open phone, go to keypad and make the call. If I have asked Siri for the number though, I get Siri to make the call.

While I can use the text keyboard, I am still quite slow at it and so I choose to use Siri for Text messages. It works quite well if you speak slowly--using some punctuation and have limited background noise. As far as phone calls, I have all important contacts: doctors, pharmacies, family members, friends in contact from which I use the standard navigation techniques to access and dial them. If I have to call someone or some business that is not in my contacts and I know the number, then I use Siri. As far as opening apps, I group the ones I use the most into folder--using the edit method of drag and drop and placing these folders on page one of the home scre3en. Again, I use standard navigation techniques to navigate quickly to the folders and double tap on the program name to access and initiate their functions. ...So am I unusual in operating this way?
