The word “modern” has been so thoroughly corrupted and overused to the point of meaninglessness as a software marketing term.

I’ve been more productive as a software user taking the term “modern” to be a signal to avoid the software in question instead of a signal to engage with it.



"fast" seems to be another such word, especially when not accompanied with benchmarks.
