Front loaders are much gentler on the clothing, so much less lint is
generated, and it tends to stay with the clothes anyway since they
are not swimming about in a lake of water.
We get less lint in the dryer than we used to, and essentially none
in the washer waste water.
I do have pipe clogging problems, but it's tree roots, not lint.

The old Maytag had a lint filter in the middle of the agitator.
That filter collected a real pile of slimy crud from each load.
The new Whirlpool machine has no place to clean out collected lint.
I've always wondered, where does the lint go, now?
Didn't this come up on the list a few months back and lead to some
mild disagreement over whether a secondary lint filter was indicated
with a modern washer? There is less lint now, but it goes right out
the drain hose with the gray water, either to clog your pipes and
septic drainfield (according to some) or biodegrade harmlessly
(according to others).
