Personally, I never liked the tape airspeed indicator on the 777. The tape altimeter I could live with as it seemed somewhat more intuitive than a round dial, clock type, altimeter.
Give me back the big, round dial, airspeed indicator of the 757/767 where I could tell at a quick glance of the needle position what my general energy state was. The 777 airspeed tape mimics the presentation of a whiskey compass for the sake of compactness on the glass PFD and was a big setback to situational awareness in my meager mind.
BTW, Boeing, put back the ball, slip indicator, while you're at it!!
