Nowadays that's a hard question. In the past few years Stanley Corporation has been busy buying up other tool companies. They now own Skil, Black and Decker, DeWalt, Porter Cable and many more. I think Home Depot now own Ryobi and Ridgid.
There are several companies that manufacture cordless, circular saws. Some include: Bosch, Black & Decker, Dewalt, G-Force, Hitachi, Makita, Milwaukee, and Panasonic.
No - they're two separate companies. Stanley Black & Decker owns DeWalt, so any company affiliated with Stanley Black & Decker is hence affiliated with DeWalt.

Black and Decker bought out DeWalt in 1960, but still continued making them as a different tool. Now both (and many others) are owned by Stanley Tools.

Switching to Dewalt power tools is a matter of personal preference. Dewalt power tools are equivalent to Black & Decker tools and the company was actually purchased by Black & Decker in 1960. If switching from Black & Decker they are actually the same tools.
Black and Decker now make DeWalt power tools.
No, they were at one time built in same factories, but even then different parts.
BDK is the ticker symbol for Dewalt tools. Black and Decker makes Dewalt and Price Pfister faucets.
