Right now, you have a choice of learning PSTricks or PGF/Tikz for all your drawing needs. Both are large pieces of work which require you to read the manual over and over again. At least till you get it.
For myself, while I've known about PSTricks, I've stuck to PGF/Tikz. But if you need to have better plotting and more features than the already extensive one in PGF/Tikz, then PSTricks is the way to go. Again, the choice is dependant on your needs and the level of programming you'd like to get into.
This thread on comp.text.tex might help you decide.
EDIT: As the note in the comments mentioned there is also METAPOST and one other graphical language called Asymptote.

And don't forget about the powerful METAPOST-now even integrated into the luatex binary by the ConTeXt MkIV team!
