[TriLUG] Vector graphics tool for Linux?

[Steven Hilton]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone on the list has used the various vector
graphics tools for Linux?

Looking around on SourceForge, Freshmeat, and Google, I find there are a
number to choose from. Good for Linux; bad for a person has little time
to evaluate 6 different applications.

Sodipodi: http://www.sodipodi.com/
Inkscape: http://www.inkscape.org/
Karbon14: http://www.koffice.org/karbon/
Skencil/Sketch: http://sketch.sourceforge.net/
Cenon:    http://www.cenon.info/
Gestalter:http://freshmeat.net/projects/gestalter/

If you have any experience with any of these tools I'd appreciate
hearing any comments or impressions you might have.

Especially:

- EPS export?
- Stability?
- Missing features you wish you had?
- Usability or intuitive interface?
- Glaring bugs?

I have used Adobe's Illustrator quite a bit, but not one of the later
versions (It's been a couple years.)

I am now running Fedora Core 1, with Gnome as my desktop.

Also, I was unable to find any comparison information online. If you
know of any, I'd appreciate a link. 

Thanks!
