Delta 777-200ER/LR Conversions to 7HD & 7HB. Pre-mods config is 37J/36W/218Y. For all the ERs and the first LR, post-mods config was initially 28J/48W/220Y (7HD/7HB). The post-mods config for all ERs and LRs is now 28J/48W/90Y+/122Y (7CD/7CB).
Modifications are taking place at SIN and the entry and exit dates are based on SIN time (GMT + 8 hrs). Comfort + installation was done at ATL on all the 7HD>7CD conversions, and on 7106 (7HB>7CB). The remaining 9 LRs had the C + cabins installed at SIN.

Granted, I have only ever flown the 777 Business class domestically (mostly from ATL to the West Coast), but what makes it so crappy?
I do not find it uncomfortable to sit in, though admittedly I have never tried sleeping in it.
Is it the age of the seat or position of the seat?
I am contemplating taking a flight in DELTA One on a 777 and am curious as to what makes it less desirable as I do have some other comparable options that I could choose.

The 777 was DL's first herringbone configuration and it was a huge leap forward for DL's J class when it was first released. The two main issues people often cite are:
1) DL has not moved to a reverse herringbone model, (see the A330 and 747 seat maps) where pax in the center face inward an pax at the windows face the window, as opposed to everyone facing the aisle. This has a more private feel as opposed to feeling like you are kind of sitting in the aisle.
2) The seats are just starting to show their age. It is not infrequent for people to report seats have broken parts, etc.
If you have the option to fly on a A330 or 747 (while they are still around) instead of the 777, I would suggest you do. Many people would still say that the 777 is a better product than the 767. In any case, the 777 will not be a bad ride.

it's like putting whipped cream on dung and calling it chocolate mousse. It's a same-old, same-old feet under the armrest business class seat with a half "door"that further reduces space. It is not a "suite" by any stretch of the definition in the airline business. For a site that is so uber-critical of everything Delta marketing, a lot of you (I guess you've never seen the real thing) have bought this hook, line, and sinker.

I don't understand the point of having a door that someone standing or walking in the aisle can see over. There's no (additional) privacy.

Regarding the door. When you are in full-flat, you are fairly low to the ground. Rather than having the knee of someone walking thru the aisle just a few inches from your face, you can create a barrier there.
When you are sound asleep, it eliminates the possibility that someone walking by can easily touch your body. I personally know many people who will appreciate a feature like that, they will be more comfortable falling asleep knowing there is some barrier there.
But look, if you don't want to use the door, then don't use the door. No law or commandment says you have to close the door. Seriously people, it's no big deal.

It's about not having the person across the aisle be in direct eyesight the whole time.
Also, with the door, I'd personally feel comfortable changing into PJ pants under the blanket.

I'm sorry, but have you flown the product yet? The reviews have been glowing, even from those who are not Delta "loyalists". Regardless, your opinion is your own, but I would love to fly on a plane with a brand new interior instead of one that is showing its age, and one that would make it easier to talk to my travel companion instead of seats angled away.

The many I've read have not been glowing. They might enjoy it, but the general response I've read have been, Meh. It's by no means bad. However it's lackluster, with the whole selling point being a door. A door that doesn't go high enough to give privacy, and doesn't shut all the way, reducing privacy even more. This is nowhere close to being a suite by any other airline standard.
Is anyone else going to mention the Irony that delta ran away from the ATL-DXB route whining like a 6 year old child about "the evil ( far superior) Emirates" but has the audacity to try and compete with a similar premium product by calling it a "Suite". Hilarious Delta, you couldn't be anymore obtuse.

I have not read anything about the door not shutting all the way. Where did you see this?
