I haven't flown in a 747 in agessss... I wonder how it compares to the 777 (at least in economy comfort... as I do not have the money to pay for Business Elite or First, nor would I as honestly EC on the 777 to DXB was very good).
I am a fan of the 747 as a plane, but would certainly avoid it in any other seat than upper-deck business. There is no AVOD in economy/EC, and the seats are narrow. The plane is a bit dated, as well. Since it is 3-4-3 seating, there is a higher chance of someone needing to crawl over you to get to the aisle.

I like the 777 in 3-3-3 seating, but was not as much as a fan when flying AF (3-4-3)
