It's not really about the the hassle of changing clocks, or even really about the shift itself, though it is annoying and completely arbitrary. While the time shift itself does matter if you know people in locations that do not observe any DST (like Arizona), its mostly just about the time of day when its light out.
I have yet to meet anyone in my circle who prefers standard time (lighter in the morning) over daylight savings time (lighter in the evening). Admittedly, its a small samples size, mostly made up of engineers who tend to start work later and end later. But there are also many teachers and parents who operate on the asinine schedule of schools which require children to be present and learning as early as 7:30am.
Personally, I am never awake before the sun, whether in summer or winter, so I am much happier when the sun stays up later in my day. When the clock shifts back in the winter, it gets dark by around 4:30 or 5pm, and I find myself not wanting to work as late into the day. In the spring, when the clock shifts forward, I immediately start working later without any specific effort; it just happens naturally.
