Open Elements

I’m in the process of creating new business cards and want to do it using open source software. I must admit that it’s hard to resist booting into Windows and firing up Adobe Illustrator because I can probably get the vector graphic done in half the time, but that’s not the point here.

So — what are my options as far as open source vector programs? I plan to test 2 programs for my project

Inkscape
An Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X, using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.

Xara Xtreme
Xara Xtreme for Linux is a powerful, general purpose graphics program for Unix platforms including Linux, FreeBSD and (in development) OS-X.

I am interested in finding out what other people are using to create vector graphics. Please post a comment if you have any suggestions for open source programs. I will follow up with comps from each program.
