typings vs @types NPM scope

by

@types is the new way to install the definitions in typescript 2.0.
It unifies the management of definitions and packages. So that you do not need multiple tools and config files. Only going to need npm and package.json instead of having to have npm, package.json, typings, typings.json. It basically makes installing and managing definitions easier but it is the same as typings.
