I think the main difference is that Kotlin fully embraces the current Java ecosystem, and makes integration with it seamless, while Ceylon rejects it and seeks to replace it with something new. Personally, I prefer Kotlin's gradual approach to Ceylon's revolutionary one.

It is done by JetBrains, a company with good experience doing amazing developer tools. Their WebStorm IDE is partially done in Kotlin. Android Studio is based on InteliJ and also supports Kotlin. Ceylon is a me too JVM language from RedHat without eco-system around it.
