No it’s not. DST makes it so summer afternoons and evenings are useless because it’s too hot in the direct sunlight. By the time the sun goes down and you can actually be outside it’s time for bed.
We should move the clock a hour back in summer so we can actually enjoy the summer evenings.
Most people work or go to school in the morning. They can get up an hour earlier, but then they have just this one hour that they can enjoy before going to work. It’s not enought to meet friends, go for a longer walk or trip, or anything really. If the enjoyable hoir moves to the afternoon, it can be merged with the rest of the evening spare time and enjoyed better.
But if this is the consensus, that things should start earlier, then why not start them earlier, and leave the clock alone? Let the clock be a device that says, when the sun is roughly in its zenith.
Work begin time or school begin time are fairly superstitious and can be changed. I don’t see a reason to change the clock.
I think that would be as hard to achive as the abolition of time changes, maybe harder. I can already see all the emotions that would stir, the irrational fears of being more tired, the hatred of change in general… It could happen, but I don’t think it’s the easier way.
I’m well aware, but I prefer more light in the afternoon than in the early morning.
Having the middle of the day at 1 PM is nicer year-round

you do realize you can simply wake up earlier and it’ll have the same effect? :D
Edit: I see a couple of downvotes. Could some one give some arguments?

Your idea sounds like more heat when I try to sleep, and the alarm clock going off in the colder hours. I hate summer time so much.
