I have taken all Vector articles and all User Submitted/Recommended Resources and compiled this list of the Best Illustrator/Vector Resources.
I took into consideration popularity (both from outgoing links and Technoratii ranking), the quality of resources, number of resources and, to be honest, how well there site was designed.

I have split the resources into categories: Free Resources (downloads); Tutorials; Free Illustrator Brushs; Illustrator Symbols; Illustrator Plugin; Free Vector Logos; Free Vector Editors.

Thanks to everyone who helped me with this list.
