Fine Pitch -
Before you go slogging on the creature comforts of the C-17, please take a second to realize the reason these transport aircraft were built in the first place. Not to appease the aircrew but to get things moved from point A to point B as best as possible.
Having ridden in the back of many a fine aircraft (no, I am not lucky enough to be a pilot), I can tell you there is nothing wrong with faster, warmer, and more comfortable.
God bless the C-130, it has served well beyond its intended career and continues to do so. Herks have taken me to some interesting places and kindly brought me home again. But nothing lasts forever...
Cheers!
