Without riding the same machine with and without ABS, you cant really form an opinion.
Mt MT-09 is the first bike I've ridden with ABS. Since buying it in May, the front ABS has activated three times. Just a couple of clicks but it is interesting to note to yourself that the front is that close to locking up.
Previously, I've never (knowingly) locked the front up before on any other bike, but not ridden a non ABS MT before.
Edit:
Noggy, are you assuming that people will just grab a fistful of brake every time just because they have ABS? Surely no-one would do that?
I just ride as normal.
FWIW I don't think I've hardly ever activated it on my cars or van either!
