Abbadon is dangerous but is seriously over rated as a general, I believe the main reason they put up with him is that he is the best option they have. All the other possible warmasters are disqualified various faults such as by being even worse generals, having no real leadership abilities, having agendas that are to far from those the chaos gods embrace, are to much the loners, are not strong enough or are simply to uncontrollable. The last point is very much in the chaos gods minds ever since the heresy & the difficulty they had in controlling Horus. And is the only thing that may prevent Huron Blackheart, who is by far the best general chaos has but is almost as hard to control as Horus was, from taking Abbadons mantle as warmaster
