He probably means the word just in the sense that e.g. Wiktionary defines: Pertaining to a current or recent time and style; not ancient.[1]

EDIT: And by old, he probably means "old-style".

So XFCE 4.12 is a modern UI according to your definition, having just been released.

Well perhaps I'll confess to a little licence with this last reply. I really find use of the M word strange in relation to UIs. The whole idea of a GUI is, what, 40 years old?
