Don't forget about tikz, which is more than enough

be used with pdftex.)
I'll second this. My graphics use is pretty much limited to network
diagrams, for which I find TikZ excellent. There is a graphical editor
for TikZ under Linux (KtikZ), available as source or a .deb for Ubuntu
Gutsy. It uses LaTeX preview to build the image as you edit. I've only
played with it briefly -- I don't think it has intrinsic support for all
the node/edge stuff (which is mostly what I use), but if you're a TikZ
user it's worth a look. AFAIK there's no TikZ-aware editor/IDE for Windows.
