>Handing my card over to someone who disappears off with it?
Does this bother you? If your system can't handle this scenario then it is flawed.
>Those bloody awful faux-pens to sign on an LCD?
Not required in lots of locations unless it exceeds some value.
>That's your idea of easy to use?
Yes, I put a card in a machine, wait 5-10 seconds, and take it out. Done.
In a sit-down restaurant, the waiter drops off the check towards the end of the meal. I put my card in the holder and he grabs it and returns with a receipt to sign and write a tip amount. Not quite as fast as the waiters who have payment processors they walk around with like in Europe, but close.
