Actually, after a little research, it seems the situation on the Mac is rather bleak when it comes to 2D vector software.

Corel's software is no longer made for the Mac.

Canvas is no longer available on the Mac.

Xara was never available for the Mac.

There are some non-professional products, such as EasyDraw, available, but I have no idea what that software is capable of. A couple of other drawing programs seem to have died off due to lack of interest on the part of either the users or the developers.

That leaves Adobe Illustrator and Inkscape. However, Inkscape runs in the X11 environment, so it's not exactly what I would call OS X native.

There really isn't any competition for Illustrator, at least on the Mac OS.
