It's not the capacity of the A380 that airlines dislike; it's that operating a heavy, double-decker quad-jet is expensive. It's estimated that A380s have an hourly operating cost that is double (or more) that of a 777. Which isn't surprising, considering an empty A380 weighs in at about 280 tons. An empty 777-300 weighs in somewhere around 180 tons.
