I don't know if I read the comments that way. Those answering the original question directly and comparing both types seem to be notably favouring the Airbus product over the Boeing one.
However the new world seems to be heading for B787 vs A350 and B777-300 vs A380, in which case the Boeing product will be smaller in both cases, and that is what the discussion seems to favour. What is good is that there is a choice of size provided by the different manufacturers, unlike the days of the DC10 vs L1011 which both came out the same size.
Chornedsnorkack is incorrect to say that all widebodies have two sidewalls and two aisles. The A380 has four sidewalls and three aisles.
