^ People aren't fond of the 747 just because of its beautiful form, and its illustrious history, but also because airlines now have decided to configure the 777 as incredibly uncomfortable. Smaller and fewer lavatories, yet 10-abreast, while still not new enough to attain higher pressurization and humidity or larger windows like the 787 or 350. Pointing out the widely known fact of twin engine efficiency doesn't change any of those sentiments.

I might get excited about the folding wings of the 777X or its slightly wider cabin, but it still won't be a 747.
