When we talk about good UX, most people think about clean screens or nice icons—but modern digital products go much deeper than visuals. For me, good UX is when a user can move through a product without thinking twice, because every action feels natural, predictable, and intentionally designed.
In today’s world, users expect speed, clarity, and simplicity. A product should load fast, respond instantly, and guide users through tasks without friction. When a design team focuses on real user problems, the experience becomes meaningful instead of decorative. I feel that good UX also means understanding context—mobile usage, accessibility needs, user emotions, and even micro-interactions that reassure or guide a user at the right moment.
Some points that define good UX in modern products:
Clarity in user flow: Users should instantly understand where to go and what to do.
Consistency across screens: Visual and interaction patterns must match.
Accessibility: The product should work for all types of users, including those with limitations.
Smooth performance: Lag or confusion instantly breaks the experience.
User-centric decisions: Every element should solve a real user problem.
At the end of the day, good UX isn’t something you notice—it’s something you feel. When users achieve their goal easily and leave with zero frustration, that’s when the UX is truly successful.

Re: How Do You Define “Good UX” in Modern Digital Products?
User experience (UX) is more than user interface. It also depends on the user's skill level, motivation to learn, and interest in such elusive elements as compatibility/reusability and versatility. Availability and useability of ready made templates is also an important factor in many cases.
Different products score differently on those things, and different users have different views, so the attention to UX is not a score on a one dimensional magnitude scale to decide "which is best", but rather an ongoing process of "how can we make things work better for different users".
In my view, "Good UX" is defined by the user feeling that "I needed to do something, I got it done, I'm satisfied."
As for "move through a product without thinking twice", that may often be good UX, but not necessarily always optimal. Some of us want to be challenged, to feel that the product is our own, not just an adjustment of some prefab.
The PERL motto springs to mind: "There's more than one way to do it." (How many more is up to the user to determine.)
Also: "What some see as a bug, others consider a feature."
Not entirely disagreeing with your points, but I think that if we insist on "defining" and limit the definition to what we can put into words, we remain limited. This UX subforum is perhaps applicable rather for handling the more elusive (less "defined"), and also the one-off, aspects of usage.
Not sure whether I'm making any sense here. I'll have to get back to this some other time and try to read what I wrote
