I have found Inkscape to be quite an under-appreciated tool. It is much easier to learn than Illustrator for a beginner, quite light on systems resources and has great keyboard shortcuts.
Earlier when there was a logo to be designed I used to use GIMP. But I find Inkscape's text handling to be much superior (especially with manual kerning) and flexible. In fact, I do most of my website mockups with Inkscape these days.

You can re-save PDFs after converting all the text to paths, to avoid font embedding problems. You can manipulate the saved files with d3.js. It's very quickly become one of my favorite tools. Connectors still suck, though.
