Ask HN: Story Points or Time Estimates

I run a start-up and I am not a software developer. We use agile development and 30 hour weekly iterations.

It has become very clear over the past 1.5 years that the software developer estimates are very inaccurate. This is based on a number of things, but it has not improved over time - if anything estimates have gotten worse.

We are discussing the possibility of moving to Story Points instead of time estimates. What is your opinion on the two methods? Who uses what and why?
