Vector graphics

Hi all.

I'm looking for a decent vector graphics program akin to CorelDraw for the PC.

Anyone have some suggestions?

Thanks.

The major vector graphic applications on the Mac used to be Adobe Illustrator and Macromedia's Freehand. But I just went to the Macromedia site and found to my chagrin that since Adobe bought Macromedia, Freehand is no longer catalogued.

However, it appears that Macromedia Studio and its associated products are still alive and well.

I personally prefer Freehand most of the time but was an illustrator user since it was released ages ago as Illustrator 88. Inkscape looks interesting as well, but I have not tried it.

Not really seen anything else that is worth investigating.

Intaglio

Intaglio is a very nice vector drawing program. Clean, lightweight and effective.

well, I've been toying with Inkscape and I have to say I'm impressed. It's obviously flavored by CorelDraw and that's a good think since I'm a... 15?... year user of Corel.

Thanks all for the feedback.
