The old ABS systems used to be more obvious about their pumping of the brake; the new ones don't tell you so much when they're doing their thing. Like you say, it would be Rrrrt Rrrrt Rrrrt and now it's a lot quieter about it.

I still see people advising new riders to "never" touch the front brake. My thought is if it was actually dangerous to use the front, it wouldn't *have* one. You get most of your braking ability from the front brake when the bike rocks forward. I often stop using only the front, not touching the rear at all.
