>are dynamic memory and linked lists still common?
Why not? A linked list is still a useful data structure, you can't sort an array or insert in the middle of an array as easily as a linked list. A dynamic array is still useful because you never know when the upper limit of a regular array will be breached. Dynamic memory allocation really has less to do with the computer's memory than convenience and scalability.
