Learn to use it correctly & you'll really cut your braking distance, when used right you can feel the bike squat down under braking rather than just have the front dive. For non emergency braking you want to go progressively harder on the front & similarly progressive on the rear (don't stomp on it, fine control is required, if that means you have to sit up on the bike & get a feel for the rear brake pedal's travel while stationary go for it)
Bringing the bike to a complete stop from a reasonable pace use the front & some back to get your pace down, at low speed (walking pace or a little faster) ease off the front & bring the bike to a stop with more rear than front.
For slow control don't touch the front, don't even cover the front lever it's all biting point of the clutch & rear brake. The revs should be steady if you're doing slow control drills
