GMT doesn't have daylight savings, but most people won't be as precise in language. Here in Germany, we might also tell people "GMT+2", even though it changes to GMT+1 in winter. Like, I don't even know what the correct shorthand would be for our timezone...

It’s CET/CEST (MEZ/MESZ in German)

CET?

That is why lots of time zone selectors allow you to select "Europe/Berlin": then it is clear that depending on the time of year this is UTC+1 or UTC+2.

I use TZ identifiers, and confirm the expected behaviour ("Berlin time, correct?"), as then I know how I should handle DST changes.
