For sub-50MHz digital applications, wire wrap is still my preferred method of prototyping, predominately influenced by my undergrad experience with this guy[1]...I'm fairly confident that he was the sole reason why the local RadioShacks in town kept a handsome stock of affordable wire wrap tools and 30AWG wire on the shelves year round. I know certain defense performance specifications (e.g. [2]) explicitly prohibit the use of wire wrap in production hardware, although in this particularly case, the driving factor is largely based on maintainability considerations.
