They seem to do the same job but why are they separately listed?

From the documentation:
Google Cloud SDK contains tools and libraries that enable you to easily create and manage resources on Google Cloud Platform, including App Engine, Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, BigQuery, Cloud SQL, and Cloud DNS.
Google Cloud SDK contains both the preview version of a new App Engine's command-line tool gcloud preview app, and App Engine Java, Python, PHP and Go SDKs.
So, the Cloud SDK is a wider set of tools that includes the App Engine SDK (for different run times) and much more.

It seems you can't deploy an app with the AppEngineSDK alone... which makes it utterly superfluous for most developers. Just get the Google Cloud SDK. – Ray Foss Sep 06 '16 at 16:01

@RayFoss: You can deploy your app from Google Eclipse Plugin, which includes App Engine SDK. – Andrei Volgin Sep 06 '16 at 16:09
