I did right before the pandemic coming back to NY from Germany on Lufthansa. I mean I am glad I did it just to have the experience, but you aren't really missing anything. I much prefer the 777. The 747, while having been updated over time, is still a 50 year old design at its core.

I have not flown on a 380, but the 777 is still my favorite plane to fly on, edging out the 787 even, though not by a whole lot- the increased comfort (higher pressure and humidity) in the cabin and reduced noise don't quite make up for the lack of spaciousness you feel inside a 777.

I personally have no desire to get on a 380, they just seem too big... like the tropey quote "They were so obsessed with whether they could, they didn't think of whether they should..." it just seems out of scale somehow.
