Well, Turkey has moved from UTC+2 plus DST in summer to UTC+3 permanently.
People seem to hate it. Here's a news report lamenting the decision:

Personally, I'm happy that we get more sunlight after work hours but people who need to get up early (especially children who get up early to go to school) reportedly are frustrated with it.
I'm trying to find a pro-permanent-DST article but not having much success with it.
Here's a more balanced take on the issue with psychologists chiming in:

Here's a non-newspaper source (don't miss the references bit in the end if you're interesed):

It objectively seems like a bad idea, It appears Turkey should move back to UTC+2 and stay there. Permanent DST has many downsides.
