I have never had that problem when I used a clothes line.

I'm not a fan. As a kid, that's what we did all the time, but I wouldn't want to do it now.
We do have a clothes drying looking thing that we keep in the house though. The wife uses it to dry some of her things, and I sometimes use it for my shirts. We just keep it in the laundry room. Our front-load dryer spins out the vast majority of the water anyway, so we only have to let it dry for a short time even inside the house.

you can only use clothes lines maybe half of the year, if you are lucky. with that said, my parents use it whenever possible.

I never did care for the smell of country air. (No, I don't like city air, either.)
There's always a rather "unique" odor to it, like nothing else I've encountered. It's odd, and distracting. It takes a few days for the stuff to equalize to the more neutral smell of indoors.
And meditative? Pain in the ass is more like it. If it was such great fun, why are mechanical dryers so prevalent? Hmm.....
There's also none of this, "Oh god, its raining! Quick, get the half-dry clothes in!!!!"
Anywhere I've lived (Pennsylvania), there's almost always at least a 30% chance of a storm on any day of the summer. And the humidity means that stuff like jeans won't get completely dry, even after a day in the sun.
My mom always liked the outdoors though; there's a washline back home, which she always prefers to use. Even when she wakes up at night to find a Japanese Beetle on her, it's not enough to change her mind.
I do use wash racks though, partly to save on my already-high electric costs, and partly because the apartment's dryer is an ancient, noisy piece of junk.

I use it for my comforter and other huge things just because its way quicker then using my dryer. Think I'm going to start using it on my jeans as well since it takes them two trips through the dryer.

We cannot have a clothes line in our Backyard according to the HOA. So my wife just uses a clothes drying rack when she wants to dry some laundry. She doesn't use it for all items just some. She just puts it outside in our backyard and positions it in a place with sun and you come back a couple of hours later and everything is dry. It folds up when not needed.

I think its interesting that some people who worry about things like TV, PC using power when on standby will be the same ones that say they only use a dryer.
Drying clothes outside has its problems , but I think it could also save people quite a bit of cash each month.
