It's my go-to vector graphics tool.

Easy to use and understand, powerful _enough_.

For my simple uses I'm not fighting Inkscape or Visio ever again.

Mine too. Though I've never been sure why PowerPoint is so much more capable for this than Publisher. When creating resources I intend to be printed I've had to make things in PowerPoint then copy them over after finding out Publisher doesn't have the feature I need but PowerPoint does.
