What are the current popular digital logic families? Years ago, I used 74HC and 74HCT, but I suppose something else is in vogue now. I don't need anything particularly high-speed, just robust for a rugged environment.

I just need some very simple logic. For my current application, I only need an AND or NAND and would probably just use something like a 74HC00. I was just wondering if some other logic family is more popular these days. I know that I will need to come up to speed on the PIC perhaps someday, but that would be overkill for something very simple.
Thanks,

These days, it seems most discrete logic applications are for "glue" logic on a PCB where only a few gates are needed. These situations never justify a micro. I dont think anyone attempts to build complicated logic circuits discretely these days.
