Sections are the canonical hierarchical structure. You can assign styles, layouts, and permissions to the section. So, for example, you could have a section for paid subscribers only. Any CMS item lives in exactly one place in the section structure.

Categories are a (hierarchical, although the current widgets don't display the hierarchy) tagging system. Articles can belong to a single category, or none, or many. They exist to encourage discovery. They do not affect permissions, styles, layouts, etc.
