I don't understand the hate for daylight saving. Splitting those extra daylight hours either side of work and school is a waste when you can combine some of that time for more recreation at the end of the day. When my kids get home from school I get to ride bikes with them in daylight for an extra hour. I have time to enjoy cooking and eating a bbq of an evening before it gets too dark outside. There is time for gardening after work. Summer sports practice. A round of golf. That extra hour of sunlight is fantastic for family quality of life. Programmers are inconvenienced? Who the fsck cares? The dates for time changes are gazetted way in advance. Some data tables need adjusting and only a handful of people on the planet need to do it. The rest of us just need to apply updates which we need to do for security anyway. It isn't all that hard. Phones, computers, media centres adjust fine for me. What would be really inconvenient would be to change everyones work and school hours to achieve the same benefit as that little, mostly automated, timezone change twice a year. The inconvenience of changing the time on a small number of non-networked dumb devices is a small price to pay for that extra quality of life. In a global networked economy the only real timezone is UTC. The rest are an arbitrary fiction that we can manipulate for our enjoyment.
