I'll follow the sun.

Here's my theory

I like it. I've lived among northern winters for long enough that the burst of joy when DST kicks in in the spring outweighs the crushing despair when it turns off in the fall.

Granted, I don't have to administer software.

I don't get it. Doesn't being more north make it even worse? Setting the clocks ahead just makes it darker and colder and awfuller when you have to wake up, no?

I guess it depends on when your innate wake-time is. I don't mind lamp-lit evenings, so I don't get much benefit from having creepy-weird sunshine at 7:30 pm in early March; just makes it harder to go to bed at 9. But having to get up in the cold, rainy dark? Excruuuuuuciating.

I think you have to be even farther north than here, though, for it to be a real problem. Or a very early riser. It's already dawn-ish at 6:45 here.

Also, much as the brief interval of darker mornings sucks, I've always hated going home from work in the dark about equally. So it balances out for me.

Second. I much prefer having my trip to work darkened than my trip from work. Though, also, it is lightish now, even at DST-7:30am.

And yesterday was that magical 70 degree, clear-blue-sky day that had everybody on their porches, and the band down the street practicing with the windows open, and enough light to read by until 8:30pm. Thank you, DST!

Yeah...
