I have been working with xfig a lot to be stubborn even if people tell
me that there are other tools that are better.
Once you happen to learn its modus operandi, it is almost second
nature. And I especially like the fact that the figures it generates in
the .fig format is in text format *and* quite readable.
Its sibling, transfig, can do the job of transforming .fig files into
many file formats.
I may work with inkscape in the future (I've heard that it is a very
good vector drawing program), but the fact that it doesn't export the
drawings in the .fig format makes it less attractive to me.
