Does anybody know the difference between these 2 ? is cocos creator just cocos2dx with a UI editor ? and is cocos creator updated every time a new version of cocos2dx comes out to have the latest code changes, bug fixes etc ?
Cocos2d-x is our game engine.
Cocos Creator is a unified development that supports JS and soon c++ and Lua. It has a modified version of Cocos2d-x under the hood. However, we merge engine changes back and forth.
Releases are mutually exclusive, at this time.

Cocos Creator is using its custom version of cocos2d-x,
The framework is based on cocos2d-x but much lighter, removed many unnecessary modules inherited from old versions of cocos2d-x. We also added an entity-component system, and a written UI system in cocos-creator/engine.
