Can't comment on the latter part, but generally speaking, the answer to the first question is yes and no. TNT is still the #1 explosive used in bombs and artillery shells and is probably the most common ingredient in other explosives as well.

See now were making sense. I never looked into the military aspects, I was more interested in mining and demolition uses.

I was somehow misinformed that RDX was used more widely.

Actually, I thought TNT was replaced for faster more effective mixtures.?

I know that the gravel quarries in this area still use it. However, when they drill the holes to place the explosive in, they add anhydrous ammonia to the hole. Apparently, that increases the explosive force of TNT for a better yield.

I found this out when an article in the paper reported several large thefts of anhydrous ammonia from the quarries. (presumably for meth production) I thought, what the heck do they need ammonia for at a quarry? And this is what I found out.
