The woodwork inside our house needs repainting...

All of it (ALL of it!) is gloss white. Having tried acrylic a few
years ago, and also "one-coat", I'm still most comfortable with
undercoat and top coat ( Dulux Brilliant White).

Are there new products

yes

that I ought to try?

definitely not. Water based gloss is junk compared to alkyd.

I reckon the modern water based gloss is pretty good. This is for a
house originally full of children and now slightly less full of dogs. So
maybe my standards are a bit lower.

Another thumbs-down for water-based "gloss". We did the woodwork in one
room with it a couple of years ago, after painting other rooms with
traditional gloss paint. The water-based paint retains brush marks, isn't
particularly glossy and is a dirt magnet.
