I never had a dishwasher growing up. When I moved into my current home and It had a dishwasher, I thought it was dumb, till I started using it... But I do a little bit of both, on the days where I am super lazy and let the dishes pile up, I would put them in the dishwasher just to get them clean, but on the days where I am truly responble adult, I would just take the 5-10 minutes to wash the little bit of dishes by hand. So in short, both.

I hate dishwashers, I wash dishes by hand.

By hand. I find it relaxing and a good time to get lost in my thoughts or listen to audiobooks. It's also nice to just have some things that you do manually. I don't like the idea of a world where machines take care of everything.

The dishwasher never does a good enough job anyway

Dishwashers are not a thing where I live.

I wash my dishes in at least two passes. First (optional) pass is to remove the gunk, no soap, as little water as possible. Second is to apply soap, with just enough water to wet the surface for the soap to work. Third pass is the rinse, and this is where most of the water consumption happens. I plug the sink, put the soapy dishes in the sink, and let the slightly soapy water from the current item fill it, making sure that the rest of the items consume as little water as possible even in this step.

I think for an after dinner washing for a family of four, I take around 10 minutes for the entire thing.

Yes.

Dishwasher for us, though the powder detergent suggestion absolutely did not work, big degradation in the results for us, went back to the orange pod things. Too many people and almost never eat out, so much cooking.

When it broke I had to fill a sink with hot soapy water (luckily ours is double) and everyone parked their dishes in there, scrubbed but left the water dirty, poured boiling water in occasionally to keep it warm and at the end of the day drain the water, rinse and dry. It worked and the easiest way I could manage but wasteful compared to dishwasher.

I never had one before living with my husband, and always hated washing dishes. Used to buy paper plates and bowls because with a big family and a job it was just too much, nobody wanted to do so many dishes.

Some things a dishwasher does not clean off the dishes. Avocado, eggs. And it doesn't work if you let them sit too long. But in general it does a good job and saves time and effort.

I have a dishwasher (came with the place). I don't like it. I don't think it does a very good job.

I use it as a dish drainer. That is to say, when I hand wash, I open the dishwasher, and I use its racks to air dry my washed dishes. I don't even skip straight to the dry cycle, that's a waste of electricity.

I would not own a dishwasher. I would throw it out if it were up to me and use the space for shelves to store more gear, like my slow cooker, toaster oven, air fryer, stand mixer, etc. when they are not in use.

Handwash. I've only lived someone with a dishwasher once in my life.

Yes

By hand but only because I took the kitchen of the previous tenants and it had none and there is no space to easily install one. If I ever buy a new kitchen I would by one.

I use paper plates and bowls and throw that shit away. Depending on what I ate, I can get a couple uses out of them.

By hand. I cannot manage to load a dishwasher without being worried about everything in the top rack breaking.

And I hate having to dry them because there is no reasonable way to load cups and bowls without it pooling on the bottom.

Drives me insane

By hand, don't have nor do I ever want a dishwasher. There is zwtro chance of a world full of fishwashers being enviomentlaly friendly.
