Illustrator is a popular choice among graphics professionals,
including those who created a large body of legacy illustrations
here. I know about enough to make minor changes to drawings
already done in Illustrator, and that's about it. If we need an
original, complex drawing, we'd have to bring in a contractor
since I don't have much artistic talent beyond simple line
drawings.

When I'm creating my own drawings, I either use Visual Thought
on Windows or Dia on Linux. More often than not, though, we
use digital photographs now.
