From the "Using this Site" manual:

The Editor's Pick are extensions recommended by the editors of the Joomla! Extensions Directory. They have been specifically chosen to be the most effective extensions in each category.
Editor's Picks serve as a great value to Joomla! users to spot great extensions from the directory. The editors hope this type of featured listing will also to be a catalyst for the continued development of elegant solutions for Joomla! To reduce biases, the editors of the directory gather feedback from the directory team to suggest and vote for Editor's Pick. There is generally only one Editor's Pick per category so that the main ranking is determined by user votes.
I'm not sure about anyone else, but I have an issue with the JED editors choosing commerical extensions as an Editor's Pick. It is my belief that Editor's Picks should be those that are the best in their category,
and holds to the GNU principles set forth by the JED editors. By "endorsing" a commercial product they are not holding to their own principles and recommending that developers code commercial extensions.
