I think the svg version would be easier to approach for most people.
Figured hand-drawn in svg are also normally much less precise and
inconsistent than what you get from TikZ. In

  http://www.gerg.ca/evolve/_images/figure-ug02.svg

I see arrow tips going inside the boxes they point to, which is typical
From a mouse-driven design. TikZ has been designed not to do that, so
when you say

  \draw[->] (A) -- (B);

you get an arrow that stops when it touches the box of B (half the
line-width of B is subtracted from the end point).
