Organizing Forms Using Fieldsets

I think some of the reluctancy of web developers to use fieldset elements to organize their forms stems from the fact that they don't look all that great by default. The legend element labels the fieldset element, which is rendered with an inset border around the whole thing. Another turn-off may be the fact that there's already a suite of styles that you can use to style your form elements — and using fieldset elements would just break the whole flow.
