Overall Satisfaction with Inkscape
I use Inkscape as the a free version of illustrator.
It is simple, easy to use and produce high quality vector graphics.
I have been using it to draw block diagrams and illustrations for papers.
I save the images as svg, but I export as pdf to be imported in latex.
Then the text of the figures and block diagrams is preserved as text and when printed the images have excellent quality.
