Gore-Tex XCR (new extremely good fabric)
3
Precip (jacket) - breathes OK for the price and packs smaller than my gtx
4
REI Elements (jacket) - less noise from the shell, but needs DWR reapplied often and if it wets out, it's not breathable.
5
Conduit (pants) - I generally keep the vents open, but still feal damp often
6
HellyTech (jacket) - more breathable than polyethelyne. barely.

Look at the numbers. They're available if you look hard enough.
22
There are few membranes that can compete with Gore-Tex on breathability. Most of the generics (EMS System III, TNF Hy-Vent, AquaStop, etc) have breathabilities between 1/2 and 2/3 the breathability of standard Gore-Tex. Gore-Tex XCR has even better breathability.
24
I only know of one manufacturer that makes equally good membranes, and that's Toray. Toray makes a couple of Entrant fabrics that are as good as anything Gore puts out. They're hard to find though. Burton makes some of them.
26
Columbia's Omni-Tech Platinum also has very good numbers and I've had good experiences with it.
28
The short answer is that, yes, Gore-Tex is still worth the extra money in most cases, and it's hard to find membranes that are comparable.
