It CAN work very well, but it does give people a false sense of security. Worse, almost no one is taught how to get the most out of it. In many cases if you hit the brakes hard, ABS comes in, and a car may not be all that responsive to steering. People still hit something with the ABS full-on. (And maybe they were following too close anyway!)
The steering input usually has to be more aggressive. They teach this in the Tire Rack Street Survival and BMWCCA Advanced Skills Schools and it's interesting to see the difference between normal and more assertive steering input under heavy braking with the ABS in full pulse.
