That's a very generic question, so here is a generic answer: it all depends on your needs.

For a comparison, you might have a look at "Comparing CodeWarrior with Kinetis Design Studio | MCU on Eclipse".

But in general: Usage of Kinetis Design Studio is recommended for new projects and new Kinetis designs, as all new development goes into KDS (and Kinetis SDK).

Hello Alexander Goldin:

I guess you mean CodeWarrior for MCU and Kinetis Design Studio, correct?

Depending on your selected Kinetis device, CodeWarrior is not supporting new Kinetis parts, but if you have a legacy one then it is still an option. The next is a good comparison article by colleague Erich Styger:

Comparing CodeWarrior with Kinetis Design Studio | MCU on Eclipse

:smileyalert: Just notice that the comparison was made with KDS v1.1.1. Kinetis Design Studio has suffered some changes since then. KDS v3.0.0 has just been released yesterday:

New Kinetis Design Studio V3.0.0 available

More information can be found in the dedicated pages for each product:

Kinetis Design Studio Integrated Development |Freescale

CodeWarrior for Microcontrollers-Eclipse IDE|Freescale

And just as a final comment, you are not tied to use one of these 2 IDEs for Kinetis Development. The next link presents more third party options:
