ogre-next or ogre2 is pretty modern.
ogre1 is carrying along some legacy code and ways of doing things, but it is being modernized.

There are lots of other engines, like Godot, Unity, Unreal, also WickedEngine, Urho3D, really it's difficult to choose.
Remember that Ogre is "just" a rendering engine so you have to implement a lot of systems yourself to have a functioning game engine to develop a game (like sound, physics, scripting, etc.).
There are libraries for all these systems but it is not easy to integrate everything into a game engine.
Some people had success with Ogre, but many people that only want to develop a game have gone to use game engines that better suit their goals.
Check out this site that has a ton of information about different game engines and tools:

The associated youtube channel (gamefromscratch) is pretty good.
Ogre3D still viable?
