I've use that method with African violets so I don't get the leaves wet! (They haaate that.)
Now that I'm a bit clutzier with the fibro fog though I sometimes spill water in the dish -- and everywhere else -- if I do it that way, so I use the sink. But yes, if people have trouble moving plants or whatnot, using the dish is a totally acceptable alternative.
(Though if you have water sitting in the dish for a few hours, you put too much water.)
Same with the bonsai. The constant root trimming freaks me out a bit.
