I love Inkscape so much. I use it every other week to make presentations, slides or just simple graphics when I need it. I illustrated my thesis with it.

Another piece of 2D vector software that I use and recommend is Graphite [1]. It too is open source. Graphite has nodes and can be procedural in nature. Have them both in your graphics toolbox.

Another gem in my graphics toolbox is edraw [1], an embedded vector drawing tool for Emacs. I use it to make quick sketches in Orgmode files, and it is highly recommended for any Emacs enthusiast.

That is truly impressive. I have a hunch though, that it is not well suitable for proper diagrams, due to all the things like wrapping text that is too long for a line inside a shape, inside the shape onto more lines. Dynamically wrapping text when a node's size changes. Moving edges when nodes are moved. All those things one takes for granted in an actual diagramming tool.
