It is. Porsche recognized the pronlems inherent in the 911 and the 928 was designed to fix all of them, as it was supposed to replace the 911 at some point.
A 928 is heavier, which is where most people feel the loss of "nimbleness". It has a better weight distribution, a higher polar moment of inertia and a rear suspension that was designed to reduce the tail happy nature of sports cars up to that point. The reality is, a well-driven 928 can make a 911 driver work really hard to keep up. This is especially true of the early, 4-cam 5 speed cars, or an early '80's ROW S version. The average Porsche driver could probably go faster in a 928 than a 911 before he put it in the weeds.

No, not really. Some of the cars in the late 80's were also just as complicated.
