I'm surprised Sketch wasn't covered here. While it certainly has its
drawbacks, I often find it handy.

I come from the days when xfig was the only reasonable option for
vector-editing in Unix. I still find that it beats all for my purposes,
but I keep trying others (with Sketch being my most common second
choice). Since I like to save everything to scalable EPS before
rasterizing, and my rasterizing is more often for printing than web use,
the lack of anti-aliasing doesn't really affect me much.

If I remember correctly, the last time I needed to worry about
anti-aliasing a vector drawing, I imported the EPS into Gimp.
