Recomend software: vector drawing for mac, <$100

jeffdrafttech · 10-05-2009, 06:37 PM

I've asked this in another thread but didn't hear much.

I like xara on Windows, but want something to replace it now that I have a Mac. I love iWork and don't want to have to reboot between windows and mac when I'm working on a graphic to put into a document.

I'm not interested in super expensive stuff. I'd go a bit over $100 but not much. I want to be able to do simple illustrations and work with the EPS logos that often cross my desk. Graphics stuff is a small part of what I do.

Ease of use and a fast learning curve are important. I'm not a graphics novice but not an everyday user either.

Help!

Has anyone tried omnigraffle? I downloaded a ton of demos and this one is as good or better than most, plus it has a bunch of extras that I wasn't looking for but may find use for.

Specifically, any gripes about omnigraffle that aren't evident til you use it a bunch?
