Ubuntu – Quick drawing tool

designsoftware-recommendationvector-drawings

I'm in need of some vector drawings… Was rushed to install inkscape, as is the tool I use more often, but it is too bloated and heavy for the task at hand…

I was thinking in something like Fireworks, that let's you create bitmaps in a very vector-like workflow, or something like the old Flash editor that would blend shapes if they had the same color.

Do you know of any app simpler than inkscape or along the lines of those products description?

Here's a list of Linux graphic vector editors in wikipedia. From looking at the articles linked from there, it looks like Inkscape, Karbon14, OpenOffice.org Draw and possibly Dia are currently actively developed.

Other previously popular programs, like Sodipodi, SK1, Pencil and Xara Xtreme are no longer actively maintained.
