It depends.

I use the time I spend to hand-wash my dishes as a time to pause and to let my mind wander. Having the hands in water is soothing.

And its a pleasant feeling, where cleaning is part of the food workflow : I cook, I eat, I clean (the kitchen, the dishes, my teeth).

I hate home dishwashers: you have to play Tetris after each meal to fill them, trying not to get your hands/arms dirty, then you have to let it do the work, and now you have to spend a few minutes to get the dishes out and store them where they should be, even though most of them are not linked to a meal you just had. Maybe worse, you could unload the dishwasher at a time completely unrelated to food, so that breaks the link.

On the other hand, having worked in restaurants, industrial dishwashers are awesome.
