I expect they were having problems with people complaining that if you
undid that compression fitting connection (to move the dishwasher out
for service, say), it could be a problem getting that connection not to
leak when you redid it.

The problem now is that rubber supply hoses to dish washers are gonna
burst just as often as rubber supply hoses to clothes washing machines.

If I were you, I would replace the rubber hose to your dishwasher with a
braided stainless steel hose, just like the ones they make for clothes
washing machines.

No one is using rubber supply hoses for dishwashers. What would make you
think such a thing?

Actually the braided hoses give a false sense of security. My friend
just had one burst on his dishwasher and it was only six years old,

That hose must have been rubbing against something that cut through
the braid. Water pressure didn't break those stainless steel strands.
What you want to use on all your faucets, toilets, dishwasher, ice
maker, and washing machine are FloodSafe® hoses
http://www.watts.com/pages/whatsnew/floodsafe_connectors.asp. They're
not even that much more expensive than plain braided hoses. Home Depot
sells some, but I ordered mine on Amazon.
