Affinity Designer is a great tool for those of us willing to use commercial/non-free software (and who hate Adobe). It's relatively inexpensive, and the company tries very hard to make users happy. I've used it for numerous projects requiring vector output, ranging from bespoke posters to feeding the laser cutter. It will output a lot of formats, but in combination with Inkscape, you can convert the output to pretty much anything you would need.
