On DST our sun sets around 7:30pm on September 21st. On standard time, it would set at 6:30pm. Personally, I don't mind commuting in the dark and would much rather have the extra daylight after work for activities, so I'm firmly in the leave it as is or DST year round camp.

But that’s still a bad idea. Time change is by far the best option.
Having the sunrise an hour later in the winter is not insignificant. Just like that extra hour of sun in September. You can’t just ignore it because it doesn’t support the permanent dst argument.
For all its warts, changing the clocks is far better than any other option.
