New Power tool line from a name you know

The following caught my attention in the article referenced herein.
"There's a sizeable gap in price and performance between DeWalt and Porter-Cable. This new line of power tools seems intended to fill that gap by appealing to budget-conscious pros who want something better than Porter-Cable but may not need or be able to afford DeWalt."
When did Porter Cable stop being a professional carpenter brand? Porter Cable was all Norm Abram used on the New Yankee Workshop. I think he qualifies as a pro carpenter-woodworker. I think of the following brands as pro tools. Bosch, DeWalt, Porter Cable, Milwaukee, Makita. Hilti, Metabo, and some of the other European brands are a bit different.
Pro grade does not mean quality. PC quality has been slipping since the
late 90's.
