GAL are still easy to find in small quantity  (DIP) and are now inexpensive

it's quite nice for a prototype of a small series

I use them all the time, they give some flexibilty

I also often use max7000s  CPLD PLCC44/PLCC84

All works fine but the (Lattice) chip runs surprisingly hot. Does anyone have any experience with GALs and with what can affect their power consumption?
