Dual-scroll wheel controls (vs the single wheel)
larger, brighter viewfinder
faster continuous shooting.
I sell these things for a living. While the D5000 might be best for some, there are some considerable advantages that the D90 still has and, IMO, is worth the extra hundred or so dollars.

I wanted a lighter camera, and the 18-55, and 55-200 which I was able to get for $280 less than the D90 with the one lens. I am also not a photographer who shoots every week either. Family events, holidays, some landscape when I want to play with my camera and be creative. If I shot with my camera every week, I would of purchased the D90 that has more dedicated buttons. But wth a recording studio in my house, a wife and two kids, photogrpahy is not on the top of my list. Plus the D5000 really takes great photos. Going to the Thanksgiving Day parade in Philly on Thursday. Can't wait to take some great shots!
