As far as I'm concerned, emergency manoeuvres are rare enough to be negligible and, even then, there's no guarantee ESP will save the day.
It's not an either or situation though, is it. Wouldn't you rather be driven by a good driver in an ESP equipped car than that same driver in a non-ESP equipped car?
You can "take it easy" (whatever that means) but may still have to make an emergency manoeuvre because that's exactly what it is - an emergency, i.e. something you haven't or couldn't have planned for.
