On this topic... I think someone has already mentioned the Gimp as a
suitable Photoshop replacement, but has anyone tried Sodipodi? It seems
to be an Illustrator-like application. It only saves in SVG and exports
to PNG, but it can (apparently) produce some pretty sweet graphics:

Since I'm pretty hopeless when it comes to computer graphics, someone
else will have to evaluate Sodipodi in terms of its quality as a
graphics app...but it looks pretty sweet.
