Marg C you are the most down to earth person who answered, everybody has dishes what's the big deal.
I also have a small dish drainer that fits over the left side of my dual stainless sink. It's expandable as well to fit a much larger sink. I think I got it online (Link blow). I leave it over the left sink 24/7. It is not unsightly, and takes up no counter space.

Drains in the sink aren’t practical dishes can get dirty from the dirty dishes you are washing next to it. And I’ve had issues were the disposal will back up on the other sink and you have to wash everything again
I’ve been preaching this for years to my brother because his home you have that birds eye view of the kitchen sink, I bought him this rod iron strainer and found a black drain tray for under it. This was the only fix we could come up with unless you place it in the larger sink and use the smaller one fir washing and rinsing. See photo below

Leave the drainer and contents in the sink to drain!
Like Melissa I have a metal grid that I keep in the sink. No need to have a dish draining eyesore. Easy to keep the grid clean just take it out and wash off with Dawn and hot water. Also keep the bottom of the sink from getting scratched up and takes the worry out of putting a hot pan in the bottom of the sink.
