If I want to draw something from scratch as opposed to manipulating an imported image I will always use Adobe Illustrator. Because it's vector I don't have to worry about what resolution I want to output it at, everything I draw is a totally editable object and the files tend to be really small.

I can just copy and paste to Flash and I can open any Illustrator file in ImageReady whereas I can't open a cmyk Photoshop image in ImageReady.

Having said that, Photoshop's Layers options and editable type has covered alot of the scaleability issues that were the domain of Illustrator.

For all Illustrator's virtues, I prefer to work in the pixel based applications when I'm doing web work
