The only exception to that is if you take a crappy photo and put it in Illustrator. It will still be crappy. I can't tell you how many times, when given a web graphic as a company's logo, I have asked for an Illustrator eps of the logo, and the client drops the exact same logo into Illustrator and send it to me.
ABSOLUTELY! Illustrator is great for text & vectors but if you place a raster image/file it merely outputs what is input, so if the original jpg, tiff etc is crap then the output will be crap. Thanks for catching that eightfifteen.

BTW I get the same thing with clients giving me logos as 72 dpi jpg files. I have even had some arrive as Microsoft Word files!
