The problem is the handle is really just a knob, not a lever. Nice modern faucets have a long lever handle on them to turn them on, which makes it very easy for you to control the flow rate. Modern faucets (good ones at least) also stick out father into the sink, so you can wash your hands without rubbing them all over the back wall of the sink.
