There's not much to add. If you want to brake quickly and safely, brake properly. On the street - that's progressively adding significantly more pressure on the front, and including some rear. Any other method is going to take longer to slow the bike and put you in danger more quickly. With an ABS bike - you're able to hammer the front even harder than you would otherwise, as the penalty for doing so is almost nothing as the brake cycles close to that friction limit. And in slippery conditions - it's a night and day difference.
