I just learned about a drawing program called "ipe" and I'm pretty
enthusiastic. I've also used xfig with Lyx, but ipe has a nicer
interface and you can type latex into the drawing.  it can save in pdf
or eps, and here is the magical thing.  ipe is smart enough to hide
its configuration settings inside the eps or pdf file and so ipe can
open the eps / pdf file and revise it.

I don't know if it is a plus for you, but ipe is available on all
major operating systems.
