Yeah that take off roll is crazy short for such a huge aircraft.

Impressive performance with the plane empty and probably only an hour or two of fuel.

Ignorant here, why will we feel about A380s the same way as the Concorde? What is happening to it?

Airbus have scrapped it.

Not quite - they're still manufacturing A380s until 2021. Those will probably still be flying for at least 15 years. It won't be a distant memory like the Concorde for 25-30 years.
