The big deal they were making was because you can animate in Maya, but they had been making models in Maya and then animating in Poser, when Maya is so much more sensible to animate in.

Even professional companies animate in Maya. It's widely-used for animation.

But they used Poser because that was what Monty was used to, and he didn't want to take the time to learn a different interface and different keyboard shortcuts. He wanted to jump right in to making RWBY, so he told the rest of Rooster Teeth's animators "We're using Poser", even though, I'm pretty sure, quite a few of them knew how to animate in Maya.
