Draw and Inkscape  are not equivalent. To draw freely, I prefer Inkscape 
but in some cases I think Draw better to be integrated in an office suite :

    - specific scale drawing (plans, technical drawing...)
    - automatic dimension lines
    - different export formats
    - multi-slide possibility
    - layers comportment (functional layer vs. position layer)
    - separated display and print layers functions
    - ...

As we lost layers in OOo 1.0 impress module (used for multi-languages 
presentation or different displayed and printed documents ), replacing 
Draw by another module should be damageable for LO usability.
