the new families such as HC, LVC etc. are widely used.
Most designs i have seen need a few invertors here and there, an AND gate, a latch, few level shifters etc. Although nowadays they are mostly used in those small one- or two-gate packages, instead of a huge SO14.Don't know about 'widely' - the advent of micro-controllers has pretty well made most logic chips obsolete - why use 20-30 logic chips when a single micro-controller will do the job better and easier?.
There are obviously a few exceptions, with logic chips often used as port extenders or drivers.
