I am on my second salt water pool. First was built in 1988 when technology was newer and more expensive. Worked great and over my ownership paid for itself in chem savings. Second and current was built in 1996. Prices had come down 50% from my first build. I have had to recently replace controller and salt cell. Prices are down another 25%. It should be a better economic case today. One side benefit is swim wear lasts longer and no chlorine smell. Controller and cell cost about $1-1.5K. I am not sure that the salt is any more corrosive than other pool chemicals, plus you do not have to store chemicals in your home.
I guess you could say I am a fan of low maintenance so it was an easy choice.
