Thanks for your reply. I agree that postscript is getting older, but I wouldn't go as far as to say "a thing of the past" :) In particular, I find myself using postscript (and .eps figures) in LaTeX documents and that is why I wanted good support for drawing diagrams and converting them to EPS. (I know, I could use pdflatex, however that has a few issues sometimes.)
Your roundabout has a name: Scribus :)
You can import EPS/PS/SVG to a Scribus document and print it to a PDF 1.4 or 1.5 file (or even back to EPS or SVG or even to a bitmap). There already is a Adobe Reader 7.0 beta1 available for download. It supports PDF 1.5 (Acrobat Reader 5.05 didn't).
