I used to do that aswell, you will join the pen tool someday.

Infact, sometimes I wish the pen tool had more features, like the ability to add gradients to them.

Twitch: I know what you are going to say, I just like the interface of Photoshop more than illustrator.

Don't worry about I'm the same way, well more comfotable with it, I don't find much difference in the interfaces of the CS and CS2 suites anymore. Although I've never used the pen tool in Photoshop because when I started using it, it didn't support vector based graphics at all. I just got in the habit of using Illustrator for all my vector work because you can do so much more.
If you like Photoshop try saving your vector work as an EPS, Illustrator should be able to open it still as a vector file and then you can try adding gradients. I've never tried this but it should be possible.
Edit: Unless Photoshop rasterizes the EPS files when saving then it isn't.

Are Illustrator and Photoshop linked like Photoshop and Imageready? Then you wouldn't have to worry about rasterizing.
I used Illustrator three years ago in school and the computers at my current school don't have Photoshop let alone Illustrator.

They're completely separate programs, as is InDesign, that are part of Adobe's Creative Suite. So they are not linked but are meant to be used together for different aspects, Photoshop for raster graphics, Illustrator for vector, and InDesign for the final layout. But they are becoming more compatible with each other, like Photoshop now supports limited vector graphics. What was the topic of this thread again...oh ya Nanaki's sweet sig. I've got to get around to making one of those... And for the record I like Nurvonic's, those eyes love those eyes

This is Marine's from Alizée Alliance, so don't steal it.

Photoshop doesent raster them when saving, but it gives you a warning that the file will be rasterized when opened with photoshop.

They need to link these programs better, Adobe bridge sucks, and I can't use it will my bootleg versions of CS1 anyway

i.e. .ai opens in photoshop + InDesign, .indd opens in PS + illustrator, ect..
