Is there anybody left who is still in favor of the clock moving thing? Serious question.

I'm still in favour of moving clocks forwards and backwards for summertime. I like lighter evenings too.
Wasn't it originally designed so that factories could stay open longer during daylight hours and save fuel? I think we still need the latter today.

I find that changing clocks doesn't actually change the time. The sun still comes up at the same time. Noon at 1pm? Gimme a break.
Changing the clocks changes a hundred points of reference during the day and is confusing to me. I solve the problem by leaving all my clocks in one time zone all the time, and then just considering people around me (banks, stores, etc.) to be in a different TZ for six months. From internet work I'm so used to applying an offset anyway, but for home use there's just way too many to consider.
PS: If you come to my house, you'll see a little sticker by some of the more prominent clocks which says "PST UTC-8" which I put there for the benefit of guests.

I wish it were standard time 12 months of the year.

Like Chrissy I love lighter evenings. Then there's always that one night during the summer where there's still a hint of daylight at 9pm. I dislike when it becomes dark at 4:30pm....

I like the longer evenings also, but they happen by themselves anyway.

Luckily, I live in Arizona where we don’t exchange in such silliness. Long ago, we decided to reserve all of our silliness for the state legislature.
Personally, I enjoy the early daylight in summer when I’m up and about and most others aren’t.
I will gladly accept Fred's suggestion to compromise - and have been of the same mind for years: split the baby and be done with this nonsense, i.e., come October we "fall back" one half hour and . . . don't mess with the clocks anymore.

One of the benefits of living in Japan was never messing with the clocks. A whole modern country that doesn’t bother with such silliness. Imagine.
India is a huge country and they don't do Daylight Saving there. Indian Standard Time, UTC +05:30.
