Depends on your dishwasher--newer models use considerably less water than older dishwashers. Take my dishwasher. It's a newer Bosch. It uses between 3.6 gallons to 5.9 gallons, depending on how soiled the dishes are, and does not require prerinsing, just scraping. It has an EcoSense function that detects how soiled the dishes are, and adjusts the cycle accordingly.
I think I'll keep using the dishwasher.
