It seems that there is an argument for both Summer and Winter time, darker mornings or darker evenings.
I never cared about it... until I grew older and finally retired. Now, I like when it gets dark early — it's a "signal" that the day is winding down and that it's time to transition from "active" to "passive".

I particularly dislike eating my evening meal while it's still bright/light outside. Having spent five years in Alaska (Anchorage and Fairbanks) and lived through both extremes (24-hour dark, and 24-hour light), I'll take the former — try to imagine the effects of nearby construction projects at 2AM on a Summer "night"... for months on-end.
