The phrase "after all this time" refers to the time since 2004. Four years, in case anyone's counting.

That's a long time for any 3d program, especially one supposedly so high-profile and one that has been hyped so much outside the Poserverse.

Poser didnt hit its real stride till version 4 came out, which was roughly 2001, not the early 90s.

Further, the initial versions of Poser were crude, almost to the extreme. The program was considered a toy by even its own user base. Version 4 changed all that by almost completely reworking the program's capabilities and giving it more of a "professional" panache, something Studio has insisted it has since the very first day of launch.

So yes, it is a good comparison.
