The OpenStreetMap (OSM) editor JOSM is a great tool for digitising. Although it is specifically developed for editing data in OSM it can save data as .osm or GeoJSON files which can then be converted to other GIS formats (e.g. using ogr2ogr). This export facility converts it into a good general purpose digitising package.
QGIS does it, as it can digitize with (pseudo)topology. Beside the core tools to digitize, there are a number of extensions that can help the user.
