Personally, I like DST because its beginning means I don't need to carry my heavy bicycle light any more. I wouldn't mind it being year-round but that means a lot of people going to work/school/etc. in the dark, which carries risk. The case for DST is less compelling in the southern portions of the US, of course.
In theory people could readjust their own schedule for daylight hours, but in practice it doesn't happen. If you say "Hey, let's start a league of people who get together after work at 7pm to play soccer!" you'll get lots of interest, while "Hey, let's start a league of people who get together before work at 5am to play soccer!" will get very little.
