Xara Xtreme for Linux (formerly known as Xaralx) is an open source image editor based on the Windows Xara LX (which is also an image editor, obviously).
We can use Xara Xtreme to create and edit different types of images, including vector graphics (other Linux vector graphic editors: Inkscape, sK1 - Ubuntu repo). The interface is clean and uncluttered, and in just one window, as opposite to The Gimp (which is still my favourite for complex tasks).
