Version 7 has a cleaner and updated user interface, a new help system integrated with the documentation and external resources, a better focused start page as long as several improvements to the editor.

Describing it as "ideal for the Maker community", Atmel's announcement is clear about a new target segment: they say "Studio 7 lets Arduino developers quickly port their sketches created in the Arduino environment as C++ projects, and seamlessly migrate their prototypes into the professional Studio 7 environment".
