Is there a light weight version of Adobe Illustrator or something similar?

Solution 1

Inkscape is more than enough for the dabbler, and has quite a decent number of features for professionals as well.

Solution 2

I agree with Ignacio that InkScape is the only free alternative.

A good commercial alternative is the not too-costly and well-noted Xara Xtreme ($89).

I am a developer but need to create some graphics! I have the Adobe Illustrator trial which is about to expire. Is there any other application which is less expensive and have the same features as Adobe Illustrator?
