Inkscape is a drawing tool with capabilities similar to Illustrator, Freehand, and CorelDraw that uses the W3C standard scalable vector graphics format (SVG). The supported SVG features include basic shapes, paths, text, markers, clones, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, and grouping. In addition, it supports Creative Commons meta-data, node-editing, layers, complex path operations, text-on-path, and SVG XML editing. It also imports several formats like EPS, Postscript, JPEG, PNG, BMP, and TIFF and exports PNG as well as multiple vector-based formats.

I recently got a new laptop and I tried Inkscape instead of trying to make my very old copy of Corel Draw run on a new box.
The learning curve on Inkscape was near zero. User interface is significantly better in dozens of small ways that really make it much easier to use and focus on the art.
This is a fantastic program, and I think I've only touched 10% of its functionality. Highly recommended.
