I love my corelle! I've never had a problem with them at all, never had marks from the silverware. As some had already said..only problem I've had with them is dropping on the tile floor;)
Have had it for more years than I care to tell...but if you saw the pattern I'm sure it would be recognized/dated.
They have some really nice patterns out now, you should check them out.

I have Corelle and Fiesta ware. I love them both for different reasons. The Corelle is lightweight and really easy to clean, but I get bored with white.
I love the weight and hot colors of the Fiesta ware, that's what I would use all the time, but DH loves the Corelle better.
We compromise.

You might want to use white vinegar as a rinsing agent. I can't use the regular dishwasher products because of the smells. I use white vinegar to clean everything else so I thought I would give it a try in the dishwasher. It works great and my dishes, flatware and pots and pans shine. My dishwasher is cleaner, also. I add a little bit of white vinegar to my hand washing dishwater, also. It really helps cut grease. One more thing, I use white vinegar to help clean stuck on food in my skillets. Just a little bit, leave set while washing other things then wipe clean with paper towels before washing. I love my Corelle dishes, too. They are nice and light so I don't drop them with my arthritic hands like I do my heavier handpainted pottery dishes which I love, also.

My son and dil have exact same problem as you do and theirs are only five years old. Their plates especially look just terrible. My 30 year old corelle ware looks almost brand new. None of those horrible black marks from silverware.

Crack, but the paler colors get gray scratches just as you described. So stick with the dark colors and you will be happy for years and years!
