Although in most of the UI and API they can be manipulated the same way, there are some significant differences between Lists and Libraries. The latter is a specialized type of the former.
Lists:
Can have attachments
Have major versions only
Do not have Check-in/Check-out features
Libraries:
Cannot have attachments (files are directly in the library)
Have both minor (draft) and major (published) versioning
Have Check-in/Check-Out
Publishing Libraries can use Page Layouts
Have Unique Document Ids out of the box
In code, you can always obtain an SPList from a SPDocumentLibrary but not the other way around.
Hope this helps...Happy Coding!!!!
