I don't want this to get into an A vs B argument, but I believe a difference between the two was that when Airbus discovered the A380 wiring harnesses had been mis-manufactured, and did not fit, it was treated as an engineering problem, with engineers coming up with a solution. Problems in the plant at Boeing, ever since the corporate office was moved from on the property to 2,000 miles away, are treated with a brush-under-the carpet, watch the next quarterly earnings, glossing it over with Wall Street is all that matters, management attitude.
