I love both and I cannot say one is better than the other because they have different features.
to name a few:
D5000
* light
* swivel screen, a little smaller than D90, only 2.7" screen with 230,000 dots color (good for shooting low or over head angles)
* a lot of presets, 19 to be exact (useful when you dont want messing around with the manual controls especially when you are very in a hurry to capture a moment.
* slow(in terms of processing)
* some editing features which D90 does not have
* no built in motor? no big deal if you don't have old lenses you want to reuse. all new lenses now have built in motor anyways, a little expensive though.
D90
* a little heavy compared with D5000
* CLS feature,(can remotely control a compatible nikon flash like sb600, sb900)
* 3" screen 921,000 dots color
* fast processing
* this is what I love the most - extra controls for easy access to different adjustment like aperture, shutter, iso etc.
* it feels balance when I mount a heavy and bigger lenses
these are just some few features i used with both cameras.
Sometimes its better to throw back these questions like:
what do you need it for?( I know, photography but do you always want to carry it around?)
which feature is important to you?
what field of photography will you explore?
the answer to these questions might help you guide your decisions.
If I am to choose one, ill go for D90.
And that is me, yours could be different.
