]For a drawing package, I have two that use bezier curves, etc.  Adobe
]Illustrator and Arts & Letters Graphic Editor.

I've been using Corel Draw for a few weeks.  It's fast (on a
fast 286), provides bezier curves, free-hand drawing, 
rectangle and ellipse tools, extensive line and fill
control, imports a considerable number of image and vector
file types, and exports similarly.  Full color controls,
including Panatone spot color.  Pretty nifty.  Runs under
Windows (needs version 2.11).

I have had some problems with my monitor driver (Sigma
Designs LaserView Plus), but am waiting for the lastest 
version (2.8), which is said to fix my troubles.

Corel Draw is getting great reviews in the usual mags.
