As the anti-DRL folks would quickly point out, the glare from 100% output can be annoying, you're using more fuel to drive the alternator, and you're shortening low beam bulb life (DRLs energize the high beam bulbs). Relying on manually engaging the lights ensures that they won't always be on, because the driver will likely forget to do so occasionally.
DRLs address visibility concerns with oncoming or crossing traffic, and if rearward visibility is a concern, full headlight use is the likely correct response to conditions. Someone else posted another good reason for DRLs: a possible insurance discount.
