# To the best of my knowledge
Illfrustrator is the program of choice, but tattyshop's pen tool can yield MAGNIFICENT results in the hands of In Vino Veritas or The Great Architect

# paintshop pro is fine for me

# I understand that
Xara is excellent for vector work. However it also has a cheat button that does it all for you.

# I was converted to Xara when I saw the work of another b3tan, 'JamesSmith'.
Stuff on his site here:

# I've had Xara
extreme pro sitting on a shelf for the best part of a year and not yet installed it. I've used many Xara products in the past though and been pleased with them.

# of course as soon as
it's saved as an image and not a vector file then it's no longer a vector. When they are posted here they are just jpeg images that have been produced using vector shapes. Like this simple line art inking I just did.

# I concede that
they are better saved as gifs for quality and jpeg for data size.

# that makes my groin tingle

yes, i undersnad the concept. wrong format loses the... format... and thusly vectorised goodness is not vectory anymore.

# course, you can't post the vector file
as they're GARGANTUAN

# Whilst simultaneously being very very small.
It'd be nice if the board supported SVG or something.

# but you post it as a gif and it's teeny teeny tiny
which is kinda ironic.

# Well the vector file is not an images file
it's just a placeholder for all the mathematical data. You have to save it as something other to use it as a web image. Tiff would be the absolute best quality file but you'd get raped for posting them ANYWHERE.

# surely it shouldn't be
if represented by a few primitives?
that being the point. i bet the illustrator/photoshop file is giant, but that's not the same thing. if it were to be saved as flash or svg, wouldn't it actually be quite wee?

# It also
has a very crisp, distinctive look that only vectors give.

In Vino Veritas does lovely vectors too.
