After having lived in Arizona for four years, I can attest to dropping daylight saving time as being awesome. That twice a year scramble through the house to update clock - unheard of. That terrible day in spring when an hour is taken from your day - non-existent. I can't think of one negative regarding ignoring switching - except that you have to recalibrate to other people's offsets twice a year.

On top of that, I did not know at the time that Arizona doesn't do DST. Because departure and arrival times are in local time zones, flight times were 'randomly' cut short/long, I adjusted my watch four times (one of them to the non-existent Arizona+DST) on a single day, etc.
