Come out of the closet and accept Canon system publicly
Moreover, there i nothing that i don't accept.
Had it not been the D5100/D7000 i would have been a Canon owner. In fact, i went to buy 550D but the shopkeeper also showed be D5100. Then i went back, read D5100 reviews and then rest is history
Canon has a great collection of lenses which work superbly. But, for me that collection doesn't matter much. This is because the most i can spend on getting a lens is in range of 30K and in that range it has very limited choice.
No doubt it has those L series which others don't but that doesn't appeal to me because i will never spend that much money on a lens. Yes i love photography but there are other priorities in life too
In that regard i do not find it to be anyway different from Nikon.
All this applies to my thinking and how i see things. People who have money and want to spend it on photography will definitely benefit from canon's big arsenal.
