To add to this, whether you like it or not, life has generally shifted towards the evening hours. In the morning people commute, and they get up so early that DST versus wintertime doesn't make a difference anyway- it's dark in the winter. Personally, I get depressed for weeks every time we shift from DST to wintertime. I just can't stand the fact that after the shift the evenings are suddenly so dark. I'd appreciate DST the whole year round, too.
