I'm glad to see DST is winning. I know it depends a lot on where you live, but living in NYC it feels absolutely crushing to suddenly lose afternoons to the darkness just as the winter weather is emerging. It's like a sick joke.
As for circadian rhythms, I'm sure there are many benefits to aligning our entire livelihoods to the annual fluctuations of the sun's rise and fall, but in practice everyone I know molds their schedule around their jobs, families and interests, not the sunrise.

The 'sudden'-ness may be because of the time jump. If clocks were left alone there would be a more natural, continuous/gradual shift between light and dark.
