Comment (by andrewryno):

 I like the idea (more flexibility), but I feel this patch will just add
 too much to the settings API for people to use it. Now you would need to
 add in more markup in order to get something setup (if you don't use the
 default tables). It's much simpler when it generates everything. Then it
 also makes the admin panel more consistent and easier to use for users.
 Developers can already bypass the API and style it the way they want it as
 it is.

 That said, in 3.3 I want to work on getting the settings API to switch
 from tables to divs. That would give developers slightly more flexibility
 since you can do more with divs and CSS. Still somewhat constrained, but
 much better than tables.
