Compiler/debugger choice for STM32?

BTrem.1

I will be using the STMF30x mostly for motor control using the ST library. I need to purchase a compiler/debugger and was wondering if the Keil MDK5 'Essential' version will work? I'm pretty much convinced I should use Keil on my windows based system but was wondering if the lower cost license version MDK5 "essentials" would do the job. I'm at a startup on a shoe-string budget with no time to cobble together an open development tool system. Thoughts? Experiences?

I ended up using Keil uVision 5.3. It does everything I need. Also, working with others I have also used the STM32CubeIDE, though I like Keil much better. I think this will keep me going a couple more years 😉

Thanks

Dear @BTrem.1​ 

MC SDK supports CubeIDE, Keil and IAR.

The three are interesting (including the third one, rather faster to compile!).
