Although this feels like a sentimental reason more than a logical one, I feel this quite strongly as well.

Speaking purely personally, I don't get on well with the dark so do hate the long evenings as winter draws on and the clocks go back *but* on balance find that having a bit more light in the mornings is essential for getting me going and not too depressed throughout winter, so feel that GMT is the lesser evil for me during winter. But I'd hate to have it all year round - looking forward to the clocks going forward keeps me going through Jan and Feb! In high summer it gets light far too early as it is, it'd be much worse if we stayed on GMT, and it is nice to have lovely long light evenings (esp as it can get too hot during the actual daytime in summer for me.)
