I'll leave the summing up to someone else but for me the bottom line is this:
There is no doubt that when it's problems are sorted the A380 will be technically way ahead until the others catch up. The problem is that the A380 was intended as a B747 replacement with a similar size of market and that is not going to happen. The future of the A380 lies with the airlines and they only require this aircraft for a niche market that is not big enough to generate sufficient orders to enable the project to break even.
Technically excellent, (even though it looks wrong!), commercially a dinosaur.
My 2cents worth.
