I don't know what it is with Airbus but they have started to make there new aircrafts uglier by making hideous nose and cockpit sections......

Boeing_lover from your title one could suggest your opinion may not be entirely unbiased, I think it looks like it will be a stunning aeroplane.

Why's it taken so long? It was announced about the same time (roughly) as the 787, and that's just entering service.

First flight of 787 was meant to be end August 2007. A350xwb was only first offered as a design concept to customers July 2006. So not that 'roughly' similar time frames.
