"Easier" in that post isn't referring to easier to code as in fewer lines of code, but rather making it possible to embed in an extensible way. Maven 2.x was a command line tool, where Maven 3.0 has a modular design so that it can be embedded in tools like m2eclipse, for example. This was simply just not possible (in a good way) with Maven 2.x. As I understand it, maven-embedder stopped at 2.0.4 for Maven 2 because they ran into too many issues trying to get it to work with the old Maven 2 code base.
