Draw your own conclusions, I like the summary:

OK.

"It's not quite professional,

He got that right!

but a large, loyal
user base swears by it.

And an even larger ex-user base swears at it!

It keeps getting better."

Yeah, right. Shows how much they tested it.

"It's not quite professional"
Well, Ed Hamrick sells it and there are many professionals buying and using
it.
So what means "professional"?

"A popular, inexpensive ($40) standalone program that supports a wide
variety of scanners (including the three I own). Updated frequently,
excellent customer service. Capable of producing excellent results, but has
a few drawbacks: limited color and tonal controls (there are no curves) and
frustratingly slow screen refresh (it's realtime in some other packages).
It's not quite professional, but a large, loyal user base swears by it. It
keeps getting better. "

Keywords from the original text are:

Yeah, right. Shows how much they tested it.

At least two people here would describe it as a rolling beta. OPMMV.
