Description
I don't know about others, but I never remember what Table, Block, and Row repeater layouts look like from memory, so I often toggle and save the layout option 2-3 times and check which one works best with the data.
It could be helpful to use visual buttons that depict the layout instead of the simple radio toggles when making the repeater. I've mocked up a very crude idea of what I'm proposing. Maybe if others think this is worth pursuing it could be polished and implemented into ACF.

Proposed:
For reference, here are what each of the layouts actually looks like:
Table:
Block:
Row:
