I second the recommendation for Plone. I helped a friend set up Plone for a charity about 5 years ago, and it was really nice to work with and extend. Also about 3 years ago, we used it for technical documents on a customer project.

Plone is the brst one so far in the ux department. But I don't see how it could be used for a bigger custom site, with e,g a editable JS-slider.

I wrote a custom plugin about 5 years ago for my friend's charitable project. If you are a (Python) programmer then there is little limit to what you can add to Plone.

I mean the editing of the slider from a user perspective, not creating the function back end.

Technically I'm not convinced Wordpress is qualified for the term CMS, or at least no more qualified than say PHPbb, Gallery 2, or any other installable purpose built web application with a limited feature scope. Apparently there where sufficient individuals who disagree with this view for Wordpress to win CMS of the Year for 2010.
Wordpress can be customized a lot and can do a lot with those plugins/themes...not just blogging.

You should check out a more recent version of WordPress.

I'm hoping you mean hearsay.
http://plone.org/products/plone/features/
There are many features that are part of core plone, that many other CMSes do not even think exist in a CMS. Anybody suggesting Wordpress as a CMS obviously did not read your requirement for "most modern in terms of ...user experience".
If you hear negative comments about Plone, it is usually from developers who don't actually use the product or opining based on hearsay.
