Why aren't there any logical atomists around anymore?

This is something that struck me recently, but I have no idea why it's true.  If you ask me to name any logical atomists, I would have to start naming people from a hundred years ago  (Russell, early Wittgenstein, arguably Moore etc.).  But I could name you several German idealists just in my department.  

Now that I think about it, one of the first things I remember learning about logical atomists was that there weren't really any around today (at least, that's what my professor said).

I may have missed the metaphysical bandwagen here, but was there some devastating critique of logical atomism that blew it to smithereens?  Was it because of something in the *Investigations*?  What happened?

One issue was the color exclusion problem (or any other synthetic inconsistency). For instance, “a is red all over” and “a is blue all over” are both logically atomic sentences. However, they both cannot be true at the same time, and the falsity of one can seemingly be inferred from the other. (And the relationship isn’t purely logical, but appears metaphysical.) 

This represented a major problem with the logical atomist’s “independence thesis”: i.e. that all logical atoms are logically independent of each other.
