Inkscape's alignment functions works for me. For things where I needed more precision, what I do is press ctrl+shift+x and type in the coordinates there. (Inkscape's XML editor seem to crash very often for me, but it's workable if I remember to save after every edit).

I suspect my frustration here is that although Inkscape's controls sort of look like Word or any number of other word processors, since it can modify a document's underlying XML, it requires keeping both paradigms in your head as you work.

I know people use it and like it, but in trying to get something done in a way that would save time, this approach didn't really click for me.
