With older systems it was debatable whether a skilled driver could manage shorter braking distances than the ABS. With newer systems it's not debatable anymore, the ABS is better than any human. The computer can ride the threshold of tire lock without actually slowing a wheel to zero rotational speed, continuously modulating brake line pressure, and it can do it ridiculously fast.
