I don't know who thought of the whole EST, UST and other nonsense, anyways. Why not just use GMT? At least you can easily convert that.
I prefer using UTC, myself. I think it's the way of the future. Timezones have long since been obsolete with the advent of a globalized world, not to mention that they are an unholy mess. UTC is universal.
So while we aren't going to switch to UTC for a while, I would very much thank you if you'd use UTC on websites and other internet related services. It simplifies things for everyone and will drive adoption forward.
Oh, it's not about _our_ preferences, it's about figuring out what time other people are talking about when there's an event happening with a live stream, and the stream says "We're back tomorrow at 9am CET." Never mind that if you've got a live video stream with that info it'd be more helpful to everybody if you include a countdown of some kind.
