I would argue all of you suggested words are just as overused and meaningless as "modern". At the end of the day, I would still need to see the product to understand what it does.

It's hard to describe a complex program with one word but I would argue they are at least more informative than "modern". Unless you're intentionally using old technology or going for a "retro-style", pretty much anything written in 2020 could be described as "modern".
The alternatives listed as just examples, I would need to understand the program better to come up with a truly apt adjective.

without trying to nitpick I had a similar reaction as pimlottc. the Gnome-Shell title page is:
"GNOME Shell, next generation desktop shell"
so when I read modern on your description I just chuckled a bit.
in any case great work on this. looks like a ton of work
