Low cost vector graphics editor (adobe Illustrator alternative)

Pixelmator seems to be the standout low-cost alternative to Adobe Photoshop. But as far as I can tell there does not seem to be a standout low-cost alternative to Adobe Illustrator.

What do you think is best? Please vote in the poll and/or comment.

However, please exclude Inkscape. It is clearly the best open-source/free option and is quite well known. But I want to know what else is worth spending some time looking into and in particular apps that don't require x11.

Try inkscape.org

(Haven't used it on the Mac yet - mine is on order- but it's a good alternative on Windows)
