I hear this a lot from people who use both Nikon and Canon, actually. There are also a small number of people in that camp who also claim that the Nikon glass is slightly better, though I'm not sure exactly how much difference there really is. The Canon sensors are definitely better, so if you do much low-light or high-speed work, consider that.
My major complaint against starting with Nikon at this stage is that as a company they appear to be moving towards making money by restricting access to proprietary formats; witness their decision to encrypt the white balance data in their raw files so that you can't open them directly in Photoshop, for instance. That kind of attitude really, really chaps my hide, and until they change their stance, I'm recommending against going with Nikon over Canon. My philosophy is that it's *MY* pictures and *MY* raw data, damnit, and you had better well make it easy for me to manipulate them with whatever software I choose.
