Gave inkscape another try, but, on OS X at least, I just much prefer Omnigraffle. I'll test it again next year. jason — about 1 month ago tags: Inkscape
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 quit buying Illustrator for myself at AI10 because I just couldn't

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.
