Those that say they ride well enough to not need it are just fooling themselves.

As to claims it effects the "feel" of the brakes - that's BS too.

What kind of bikes? And to be honest, you should not be following a car so close (rain or not) that its sudden stop makes you fall down. I have never had that happen to me and I was riding before Dave was a gleam in his father's eye.
