Mule Studio which was called earlier is now turned into Anypoint Studio with some advanced feature .. Anypoint Studio which was earlier called as Mule studio now no longer support .mflow which was earlier supported in Mule Studio as the main Mule application configuration file.

Now Mule has depreciated .mflow in Anypoint studio and instead of .mflow, .xml files are considered as main config file ... you can get more information here :- http://www.mulesoft.org/documentation/display/current/Anypoint+Studio+with+3.5.0-M4+Runtime+Early+Access+Release+Notes

Both Ides are same and used for Mule application development and Anypoint Studio is the advanced version of Mule Studio with new features

Mule Studio is an older version which is now called as Anypoint studio. Anypoint studio is very powerful IDE. The mflows in Mulestudio are now .xml format in anypoint studio and also endpoints are connectors.

MuleStudio is also known as AnyPoint Studio and is used to design a 'flow', which is basically an integration having endpoints (inbound and outbound) and some pressing in-between. The Studio allows a visual or graphical view to design this flow. It supports round-tripping between the graphical and XML views. The Studio comes with an embedded runtime of the MuleESB.

The MuleESB is where the 'flow' designed in the Studio gets deployed. It is akin to an application server in concept. There are two versions available - a free, forum supported community edition and a paid for, SLA defined enterprise edition. The enterprise edition is a super set of the community edition in terms of features and capability.
