From a development perspective it certainly sounds easier to have one global timezone with DST than a bunch of smaller ones without it. Would that make sense in reality? Probably not but I definitely think timezones take more work to compensate for properly.
As I explained in my other comment, there’s no situation where you’re getting any daylight in the evening with DST, that’s just not possible.
Also daylight in the morning sets your day on a high note. The morning you’re spending in the darkness is what turns your life into a winter long depression. Coming home in darkness is inevitable and has a lower impact on your mental health. And with DST effectively removing BOTH morning and evening daylight, you’ll be completely fucked.
I’m ok with timezones, but the guy who invented daylight savings time I’d slap to all the way to the sun

Switching sucks but DST is better than Standard Time.
Which part of the year is DST and which part is Standard Time?
I know, but it seems like half the people that say they prefer DST have it backwards.
It’s easy, the good part is DST (which is what we’re currently in - Spring through Fall in the northern hemisphere).
It’s only good from spring to fall. Come winter and it’s a permanent depression.
Standard Time during that period is what’s depressing.
yeah it’s literally ass-backwards. how can anyone support DST as it stands is beyond me
With standard time you get some light in the morning. With DST you get no light at all. Also there’s nothing worse than waking up in the darkness.
Sure there is… Coming home from work in the darkness is way worse than waking up in it.
