I often urge my trainees to learn CorelDraw. But you can use any software that satisfies you. Even PS.
NO, DO NOT USE PHOTOSHOP FOR LOGOS I CAN'T MAKE IT ANY CLEARER!

I get so pissed off at this constant onslaught of misinformation. The blind leading the blind. Education exists for a reason.
It’s perfectly fine not to know something – after all, that’s why this place exists. It is definitely not fine to advise those same people, unless you absolutely know what you are talking about. Leave it to those who do – and there are enough of them around here.
I cannot tell you the amount of times I have had a client send across a logo as a 300px RGB jpeg taken from their website, wanting me to design them a 3m banner, et al. ‘That’s the biggest we have.’
Just to make things clear; Photoshop has no place in putting serious, professional, usable logos together.

Indeed, but as you say, you have to know what are doing. Also, it is begging for logos in the wrong hands (who arguably, shouldn’t be doing them anyway) to end up with all sorts of gradients and drop shadows, etc. Never a good plan with logos at the best of times.However, you can save your Vector based Photoshop file as a PDF and it will output fine as Vector.
