You know I have totally been wondering the exact same thing.
I was going to get the Canon 20D with 8.2MP but how can that compete with the D5 with12.8MP's?? I have seen some compairisons.
I think it totally depends what you want to do with the camera and how much you have to spend.

The 5D puts a fantastic full-frame sensor in a relatively cheap body.
I have a Nikon D200 myself, and for $1300 less, it blows the 5D away in all areas except one: image quality. In that regard, the 5D is a notch above the rest and surpassed only by the Canon 1DSMk2 (which DOES have the build quality and features to match).
So what it comes down to, is do you NEED that 5D sensor? If you do, the camera is worth the price. But if you can settle for less, by all means get a Canon 30D or a Nikon D200 - they are much better value for money.
Here's a full review of the 5D: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos5d/
