Hmm what is the modern file sharing thing that we are supposed to use that is not Samba? if I wanted to share some directories on my LAN that can be browsed/read/written to by non-technical users without extra software what is the right thing to use these days?

Why are you not supposed to use Samba ? Samba works great as an SMB 2/3+ file server. Both Mac's and Windows use SMB3 as their native file sharing protocol, and Microsoft employ the cifsfs (SMB3+) linux kernel client maintainer.

It's just easier to keep using SMB3 :-).
