The Simple Field module provides a simplified UI for creating Fields. The primary goal is to make it easier to allow non-powerusers to administer fields without necessarily giving them access to the entire core Field interface. Simple Field also allows for more fine-grained control of what types of fields users may create, and what field settings they have access to.
The module can separate the process of field creation from the process of field instance creation. This allows admins to create pre-defined fields, and then allow other users to add the fields to entity types without the complex UI usually associated with adding field instances.
