Embedded Studio Nordic Edition

Hello,

I am confused on which plateform I should use to program my nrf52832 chip.

First it is advertised to use Segger Embedded Studio that I am trying to configure (it is a pain compared to Eclipse btw).

What I did is downloaded the generic version of Embedded Studio, use free licence for nordic devices and created my project based of one of the examples provided.

Basic BLE peripheral, we plan to add NFC feature to it.

The project is based on the nrf5 SDK. Seems to run fine for now.

And I am wondering If I have missed something. What is this custom IDE Embedded Studio Nordic Edition? It doesnt appear on your IDE section on your website:

https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-tools/Development-Tools/IDEs-and-Toolchains

But now I have been through this: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/index.html

And it seems completely different of the way I am building application for the nRF chip. 

So if I am correct to develop nrf app there are two major ways:

1. use nRF5 SDK + SES

2. use nRF Connect SDK + SES Nordic Edition

If so it is a bit confusing, which one should I use? The second option seems to be the most recent one, will you fully move in the future for the nrf connect sdk? I do not want to plan a migration is the next years for this project.
