It always seemed a clumsy arrangement to me though I am aware that others have used it.

Thanks for the comment. Yes, there are rear facing seats on the B777. The advantage of the rear facing seat is that when sleeping, your head is slightly above your feet. The plane is a slight angle with nose up. This makes it a tad more comfortable. If you're forward facing, your head is actually somewhat down. Thanks for the comment!
