  It is water saving, compared to my method of washing dishes. My mothers generation filled two basins, wash in one and rinse in the other. I dont consider them clean rinsed that way, so I run the water, at least for rinse. Dishwasher doesn't.  But to each his own, as long as your dishes are clean.
  Also I wanted to say I cook 3 (or more) full meals. 3 separate stacks of dirty pots and pans. If I didn't use dishwasher I'd be in kitchen all day.
context: Because it saves time, water, and space. >
  
  Not sure how it save spaces and time, I wash right after using it. How long does it take to wash few dishes with a rag? As for water, it's not like I am running it for hours. Get rag wet, soap up all the dishes, rinse them off and wipe. Put them back in the cabinet and wipe down the counter, sink, table and you're done. >
  
  Put dish in dishwasher, turn on, put dish in cabinet. Done. It undoubtedly saves time when you eat multiple times a day with many people in the household. >
  
  Each person wash their own dishes and put it away. It keeps kitchen clean and it's done in few minutes. Even with large family lunch/dinner one person can be washer and another can be a dryer. It doesn't take that long and if one have kids it's a good responsibility to learn. I grew up washing dishes with my sibling and never seen an issue with hand washing. Honestly having a dishwasher above financial cost is also results in having less storage cabinets. >
  
  My 3 year old and 9 month old aren't washing their own dishes and there is WAY too much to do around the house to spend that much time washing them. It's WAY quicker to put them in the dishwasher.
