Inkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw, or Xara X using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format. Supported SVG features include shapes, paths, text, markers, clones, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, patterns, and grouping. Inkscape also supports Creative Commons meta-data, node editing, layers, complex path operations, bitmap tracing, text-on-path, flowed text, direct XML editing, and more. It imports formats such as JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and others and exports PNG as well as multiple

Something that will be very important to many would-be users is that this tool is not a native Mac app. It does not look or operate like a native app. It requires X11, which is a *NIX window system.
If you are comfortable with apps like Gimp, I think you would be happy with this too. Otherwise, you may want to try some of the Similar Software suggestions above.

The biggest problem I have with open source software is that no one gives a crap about MARKETING.

Starting from scratch, Inkscape may be a very good choice. But is it true that if I have the Illy CS4 license and know it middling well (although it seems clunky & awkward), then there's no sufficient reason to switch?

In fact, in some cases it's terrible on the Mac. It's interface becomes laggy very quickly and you have to use X11. Then again, those problems are due to the fact that X11 on the Mac is coded very poorly.
Final point: It's great. Just not all that great on the Mac.

It'll probably be much better when Xquartz 2.4.1 is released.

I've had problems copying and pasting in Inkscape. It turns out that this is due to the X11 pasteboard integration. If you copy an object in Inkscape and paste it again, it will turn into a nasty raster image. The way to fix this is to turn off the pasteboard integration in the X11 preferences.
