Please explain cloth diapers....

This is not meant to be a criticism to anyone currently using cloth diapers. However, I just do not understand it. And it very well could be because I've never had any family or friends use them but I just don't understand why anyone would want to cloth diaper? I mean I can understand the financial aspect in that it would save you money but it just seems like a lot of work to clean them when you could just throw it away. I don't have an issue dealing with poop but I don't want to clean a cloth with poop on it multiple times a day. Someone please explain to me why they use them if for something else than the financial aspect of it. Again, not trying to criticize, just trying to understand.
