Open source vector graphics software?

What's the de facto open source vector graphics software? Fill in the following analogy:
The Gimp : Photoshop
(blank)
: Illustrator
Just thought I'd make it fun.
I came across something called Inkscape:
http://www.inkscape....php?css=css/base.css
Is that what I'm looking for or is there something better/more popular?
Thanks.

Well, since you've already found Inkscape, half the battle is already over. Let me help you with a few more...
XFig
(just call him "Grandpa")
http://www-epb.lbl.gov/xfig/
SodiPodi
(Inkscape's very nice Czechoslovakian cousin, who hasn't updated since '04 )
http://www.sodipodi.com/index.php3
Karbon14
(if you're using KDE, that is...)
http://www.koffice.org/karbon/
XaraXtreme
(Xara's open source offspring)
http://www.xaraxtreme.org/
that oughta do it.

I've tried XaraXtreme and was very happy with it. I was able to use it for my needs, and i know absolutelly nothing about image editing. Very good software indeed.

this stuff is well talked about.. just google "gimp vs photoshop" and/or "x vs x vs x"
and yeah, the gimp owns. :]
popularity? lol.
you might want to check out paint.NET, which is not a bad free graphics editing app for Windoze.
The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

I think InkScape is the best for SVG really, but that may be personal taste
