I use Ipe [0] for my work. The wiki page [1] gives you an idea of what it looks like.

It's also open source and you can compile LaTex directly in the editor to see what it looks like without switching windows.

Ipe is great not just for figures, but also presentations. It supports multi-page documents, incremental build-up of slides, presentation style-sheets, and so on. Showcase:

Yeah IPE is definitely the best tool for this job. For 3D diagrams I've also used blender, either with its line rendering plugin Freestyle or by tracing over the output in IPE.

Ipe is absolutely fantastic! It's my go-to for any figures, and I'll only switch to Inkscape or Illustrator if I need to make a slightly more-involved diagram.

Ipe is great, although it is a little idiosyncratic. I haven’t found anything better for making structured diagrams.
