Well, no.
The A380 is very good at what it does.
For routes requiring both range and capacity, nothing else comes close.
In terms of sales, neither Boeing nor Airbus has much to show in net orders in the current year.
The A380 remains a young program, and anyone with any knowledge of the air routes of the world can see that the aircraft will serve those airlines wise enough to add it to their fleets very well.
WRT the landing, anyone who has flown much as SLF, or even spent much time at an airport, has seen worse.
