I had to sit in the Jump seat of an A330 the other day,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,holy !!!! I'd forgotten how complicated and busy the Airbus cockpit is. The 777 is far and away the best looking flight deck around. Uncluttered and nice big screens, not to mention a checklist that actually works.( without having to refer to Fcom 3, Qrh and other books )
The A380 is crap, end of story
Any 787 Pilot could fly the 777 and vice versa after a few days conversion. That is the way Boeing designed it. And the 787 overhead panel is very similar to the 777's
Ask any of our Airbus guys if a light A330 flies the exactly the same way as a heavy A340-600, they will tell you no.
