I am sort of looking for a CAD program (mostly 2D for construction 
drawings of enclosures and random stuff that I might draw with a pencil 
and paper otherwise) that works on Mac OS (GNU/Linux would also be 
nice), but there doesn't seem to be such a thing.

For your list, I'd also recommend wxMaxima as a nice frontend to Maxima 
(especially for people like me who have trouble remembering all the 
commands) and of course vim (gvim, MacVim) and Emacs (XEmacs, Aquamacs) 
as editors of choice, as well as Qucs as a schematic capture and 
simulation package that works on Win32, Mac OS and GNU/Linux.
