ESP is meant to assist an average driver, and it does the job really well. If you want a good proof - take your car to a parking lot covered by snow and try to do donuts - it won't let you. Instead, it will make your car move in the direction the steering wheel points it to.

I only turn it off if I want to have fun or if I am in a hurry on Dry Pavement and want to floor it without it kicking in on a shift. Like when merging on the short PA on-ramps.
