They are all IDEs; they all do essentially the same stuff.

Keil & IAR are independent 3rd-party commercial closed-source IDEs.

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

They are written and tested to far higher standards.

The optimizers work better and have less issues.

The debugging is better integrated and tends to "Just Work", rather than be a real dog's breakfast of poorly fitting parts.
