I installed Inkscape on my distro and gave myself a refresher look and 
compared it the Draw. From a teachers perspective at the elementary 
level, I would say that the Draw would win out just for the mere fact 
that in the realm of the LibO suite, the look and feel just fit. I think 
that most students/kids would gravitate to Draw.

I am not too sure about the advantages to bitmap and vector formats 
anymore as the advantages seem to have blurred over the years. Are there 
still any clear advantages?

BTW ... I usually use the Gimp myself and have my students install it at 
home as well. The do manage to use it quite well. This however, with a 
helping hand from myself to soften up the learning curve.
