Consistency, for one. See debug/DEBUG, nodebug/NODEBUG, depend/DEPEND, optimize/OPTIMIZE, dbglevel/DBGLEVEL, product/PRODUCT, ... (more in settings.mk). Then, if you really need that output for a given directory, you're certainly quicker with "dmake verbose=true" than with "export VERBOSE=TRUE ; dmake ; export VERBOSE=".
