The main difference is in appsettings section we can store any data string values including database connection strings also but in connectionStrings section only database connection strings can store those are our application connection strings and new features (Membership, Personalization and Role Manager) connection strings only.

Instead of this there is no much difference between appsettings and connectionStrings.
