EDD is for more than themes and plugins, but themes and plugins are what I’ve sold with it.
I have used it on http://churchthemes.com for almost 2 years and I cannot call to mind anything that it has not been able to do without the right extension. It also provided every capability necessary for me to customize the frontend appearance via my child theme and other functionality via my own custom extension.
If you’re planning on selling WordPress themes or plugins on your own website, this is the gold standard.
PS. It also powers Pro Plugin Directory with the Frontend Submissions extension!
