Try a 787 sometime, you'll have a similar experience.

It has everything to do with being a new plane with new technologies (higher air pressure, better lighting, newer seats, etc.). Nothing specific to the A380.

That's true, and I still am looking for a chance to get on a 787.

Although I don't think anything can replicate the smoothness of the A380, it's just so big.

There’s another factor to consider that one doesn’t usually think about, emergency evacuation. Watch this video [0] which many in the industry think was rigged to even get this number and tell me which plane you’d rather be on.
