In addition, field-centric steering is virtually the only way to achieve both rotational and straight lateral motion at the same time ("frisbeeing" in a direction). If the controls are robot centric, the rotational motion will result in the translation to become an arcing motion, rather than a straight line.
See one of the programming related threads I posted earlier.
