I wouldn't go so far as to say we need to change the system, but I think we need to at least consider changing the system because the present system is ugly and inconvenient.
If the number of days in a week wasn't a prime number, we could have even subdivisions of weeks.
If weeks and years came out even (possibly with the addition of intercalendary days that don't belong to any week), the same date would occur on the same day of the week every year.
Having months of differing lengths is inconvenient for financial transactions (case in point: I hate the second half of February because I get paid based on production, and in the second half of February I only have 13 days to do the same amount of work that I would normally do in 15 days.)
Personally, I would like to see a system of 12 months, each made of up three 10-day weeks plus five intercalendary days that don't belong to any week or month (spring, summer, fall, winter, and New Year's Day). Leap Day would be an intercalendary day added at the end of the fourth year.
