I use CorelDRAW. It has a limited amount of options, but everything I need for my stuff. I really like it's ability to turn any image into a bitmap for rasterized printing easily. It can trace images into vectors, but it doesn't do the best job.

Draftsite from Dassault Systems, it's a full featured cad package and free for personal use.

Illustrator is a nightmare, the compression is uses can cause issues for some laser machines
