Furthermore, there might be some plugins which don't use the elements from 
<build> and therefore might not work correctly with a different directory 
structure. Although I haven't encountered any yet, it might be another reason 
for following the maven directory structure.

not really. Look at the configuration of the <build> element for example,
you can customize source and resource directories there.

The benefit of using the maven standard directory layout [1] is that things
Just Work without the need for extra configuration everywhere. This is
especially helpful for newcomers to the maven paradigm, as its one thing
less to configure/worry about.
