They were called Fireworks and Freehand. Sadly, they didn't survive Adobe's acquisition of Macromedia.
Serif's Affinity Designer was consciously modeled on Freehand, and Quasado became GraviT which likewise was inspired by Freehand.

I'm working on Boxy SVG which combines vector drawing and animation tools: https://boxy-svg.com
Wick Editor implements some aspects of the vector drawing from Flash:
