I have flown Dc10s, Md-11, b747 and 777. I would love to fly the 380 as well although unlikely. I understand one can have a favorite, and a preference, but to say the 777 is outdated??? On what basis? The 380 is beautiful( on the inside that is....cause it has a face only a mother could love) but the 777 is one of; if not the most successful airplane ever built. As someone already mentioned the payload is comparable at a fraction of the cost.....even Air France seems to have lost the love for their national airplane. Bean counters don't generally look at how many FA's can sit on the table but rather the economics of the airplane and this airplane is still out front.
