Have nice Bezier curves etc. Adobe Illustrator, Micrographix Designer and Corel Draw are the 3 *class* commercial graphics programs for the PC. Illustrator and Corel Draw have better typographic abilities than Designer, but Designer has better object library features. All three are reviewed in a recent issue of Publish Magazine and also in the Desktop Publisher (Philadelphia). All three have good curve capabilities and autotrace features. For black & white object oriented work, Designer (2.0) would be my choice. For color or lots of special typography, Corel would be my choice. I would only choose Illustrator for Apple compatibility as I understand that the PC version currently available is nowhere near as good as the Mac version.
