for a long time, I used Excel or OpenCalc, then I copied and pasted the grid in paint. But I wasn't satisfied with some types of grids (I didn't create arrow sudoku, or sudokurve, for example, and even consecutive sudoku layout was not satisfying me, see example below).
Now I use Inkscape. At the beginning, I find it hard to use, but once you are confortable with it, it's a very useful software, with a lot of useful tools (for example alignment...). when you are used to it, it does not take much time to layout a grid. You can also save it as eps file.
