If you create your own maps digitally, what do you use as map-making software?
Personally, I am fond of Inkscape, as it gives me maximum flexibility and the vector-based approach is great for scaling and rotating things.

In truth, I use whatever is handy - from paper and pencil to whatever app(s) I have access to.
That said, I’ve just started playing around with Affinity Designer 2 - which I suspect would be a lot like working in Inkscape (since they’re both vector based).
