No, I don't know vector and pixel oriented programs.
Please check out "Image Essentials" in the Reference (specifically "About bitmap images" and "About vector graphics").
Even though Vector Masks and Type Layers can be output as vector content (in pdf and eps) and are available as such in the layered document the display in Photoshop and the data in pixel image formats (jpg, gif etc.) will be pixels.
Could you please post a screenshot to illustrate the issue?
