The 380 will be massive looking when it's nose is next to the airport window - just like an aircraft carrier is impressive up close. I think most people will be so taken with the size that they won't take the time to consider ugly. (More like a flying suppository than an anatomical symbol to me.)
The main concern that I have is an note I read about the over weight issue. Seems that A decided to set strict weight restrictions on the fittings that the airlines put in - especially seats. To me that means cutting comfort in First & Business and plastic seats from IKEA in cattle car.
Unfortunately SQ has some very strict performance guarantees form A that will have to be met or the program is in serious trouble for the initial years.
I'll give the 380 a few years in the air before leaving the 747 world I know & love.
