use it to hold dirty stuff before washing, take out dirty stuff

I guess this is the crux of what I object to. Coming to fill a kettle up and not being able to fit it under the tap for dirty crockery. Then again, my rental kitchen is tiny, so we have to stay pretty on-it for washing up or we quickly run out of space in the sink or surfaces.

if it's got that far you haven't done enough washing!
in all seriousness, I never fill the washing basin so full of dishes that you can't use the tap to fill kettles/water bottles etc. Most of the dirty washing sits on the counter top beside sink, rather than in the basin.
I don't like dishwashers, so will wash up several times on a busy cooking day, so as to retrieve counter top space and not have shit loads of dirty dishes/pots and pans sitting around..

Modern dishwashers are much more economical re waste water and heat than washing by hand.

The only things that don’t get dishwasher treatment in our household are sharp knives, cast iron pans or items that are so large they stop the water vein sprayed around inside the dishwasher.
