XY on the left joystick, turning Z on the right joystick.

I believe this is why teams rarely, if ever, change back.

This is my personal experience, but after switching to arcade and split arcade, I was really unsatisfied since it seemed at least to me to be more work and math (though it probably isn't), whereas tank (for me) seemed to be completely intuitive and required no mental math. The problem I had with split arcade was how turning was completely independent of of the other drive joystick. So I tried out arcade and I liked it a little, but there was more of a thought process for what angle to press the joystick at, how much to turn, etc. With tank this doesn't require any thinking.
