The difference isn't so much in the primitives, but the machinery of 
composition of those into higher level things. Consider gschem. At the GUI 
level it's basically a vector drawing program. But with some simple mechanisms 
to compose drawings of drawings (symbols, sources, etc) and establish relations 
between objects both locally (attachment) and globally (netname), it becomes a 
schematic capture program. An ordinary vector drawing program cannot do that 
job.
