Well, fields are data elements that are added to tiddlers. It's useful if you are doing more than tagging. An example - take a look at five.tiddlywiki.com and go to the 'tasks' example. click on the name of one of those tasks, and click 'info'. The 'text' field is the text of the tiddler, the 'title' is the title of the tiddler, and 'modified' is the time stamp it was last modified. You could add tags such as 'checked' and then use that field when rendering to add a checkbox with the checked attribute... or you could add other data. For example, if you are using the scrum method, you could attach story points to each item of a sprint, then take those story points and add up how many points were completed last week, etc...
