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.
