Washing up by hand might take a while, but there is a satisfaction to it. Loading and unloading the dishwasher, by contrast, is much faster, and yet far less satisfying. It saves me time, but the time I do spend on it is unfeeling labour. However, I still wash my knives and wooden things by hand. Those are some of the most satisfying things to wash, since they require additional care too, in sharpening or oiling them.
However, I know it's common practice to just throw it all in a dishwasher, wooden chopping boards and all, and own blunt knives and cheap wooden spoons. It takes intention to carve out the time a dishwasher saves me to put back into caring more for my equipment. More importantly, I think, it also takes a knowledge of the old way of doing things. I'd not have an appreciation for how sharp my knives stay or how unstained and sauce-proof my spoons are if I had never washed up by hand first. It makes me wonder what other activities I don't know about that make a massive difference, but I'm blind to due to automation.
I suspect there's more to learn about laundry.
