Abs, Traction control, Anti wheelie, power modes are really important and they help you get out of tricky situations. Manufacturers are realizing this need and they are equipping most of the bike with one or more of these aids. But people need to understand that these electronics will not make you immune to the actions of your bad decisions.
ABS helps in maintaining the control of the bike in extreme braking conditions and prevents the wheels from locking up which results in a crash most of the time. But that doesn't mean that it will help create more traction for you to brake even harder.
Traction control is designed in a way to prevent the rear wheel from spinning. Its a very helpful feature when there is a lot of gravel or sand in your path. But the main use of this technology is on the tracks where in the rider can exploit the maximum power of the bike without the bike loosing grip.
Anti wheelie comes into play when an unplanned wheelie or aggressive throttle catches you off guard. It prevents the bike from front wheel of the bike from lifting off the ground. When the motorcycle front wheel lifts beyond a safe limit, the power is interrupted and brings the wheel back down.

| you do not want that to happen to you! |
Power modes restrict power delivery and changes the engine maps to suit the conditions like in wet rainy conditions. You do not want all the maximum power when you twist the throttle in such tricky dangerous conditions.
The real deal is to understand that these electronics will prevent you from crashing. They are just a safety net in case of an emergency and people shouldn't depend on them all the time but it is a good thing to have them.
