It's only one less thing to worry about if you worry about it in the first place. I do not.

There is a compelling, or at least useful, reason for me; from another reply I did:
Using UTC when all of my servers are in one timezones actually decreases clarity, as I live in America/Toronto with my daily existence, and which is what my laptop and (mechanical) wristwatch are set to. If I less(1) the logs I now have to do mental math as to "when" things happen because the hour number it says in the logs does not match my human reality.
If I look at something now (at Mar 25 21:09) the logs would say "Mar 26 01:09" which is not "now" in my mind.
