Looks like I have to pass on El Capitan as Office 2011 is a must for my work. UGH!!!
Here’s further anecdotal evidence to make your day worse…….

I also have a DOSBox so it’s not a deal breaker at the mo.
It really isn't Apple's responsibility to ensure compatibility with every 3rd party product out there, expecting that is just crazy in my opinion.
I work with a game publisher who use safedisc DRM on their boxed products which no longer work at all in Windows 10 due to changes Microsoft have made - every single disc they've sold in the past 10 years is now rendered unusable by anyone using the latest version of Windows
Really? Surprised to hear that. Okay. Was planning on upgrading the RAM to 8GB anyway. Thank you!
My mid 2011 27" was equally unusable, I had to downgrade to use it properly. I was told, unofficially, that Apple recommended using 8GB of memory. To future proof my setup for a while, (I hope), I topped up to 16 GB. Once Yosemite was reinstalled, it now runs smoothly and swiftly. Just a thought!
It's okay you can still use Logic to make some EDM and some Dubstep! Urk...
First of all, never update more than twice above your base OS.
Second it's not normal that you have to have 16GB for an OS.
Third, at least you can change the ram, newer Mac can't.

"rootless" has the potential to break quite a lot of existing "close to the system" applications. In fact, most music application/instrument/hardware companies have issued warnings not to update just yet. Just like Native Instruments, Cubase and many others (in fact, just Sonos seems to be prepared, providing new drivers for their devices - horayyy!)
Possibly a corrupted download. Happens with me all the time. Now each time you download, it won't work and then keep showing up as an available update.
Only solution that worked for me was to download the update manually from the Apple's website.

If you have not noticed, the pinned tabs are actually shared between all open Safari windows. There is one process per pinned tab, regardless of how many windows are open.
I found " upgrading" OS X it really messes with email server settings and Network Settings!!! So I suggest is use System Preferences pane to setup you email, server settings and make sure they are all correct (plus check with your server settings online)! I bet something in the "upgrade and "automatic" settings could have messed those email server settings!
I getting the dislike Mail's Automatic email settings really simplistic and it likes to mess with upgraded settings almost every OS X " upgrade"!!!
If you can do a fresh install on an external then you could see the errors the device driver throws up (in Console) then you could let the manufacture know! This way you could test and help the manufacture!
When I helped an overseas device maker of a PCI card back in the Yosemite days. I worked with their techs (over email, phone calls) during their writing. I then was given their beta drivers and report back the problems I saw. After all that they gave me a free application they also used for free helping them in trouble shooting.

They obviously haven't tried running FCPX on it then
Hoping for an update asap!
I am downloading EL CAPITAN right now. I noticed you say there are issues with FCPX - I was wondering if you know if Motion still works. Do you know? Thanks for your post sir/mam.
How does the system pref > power settings work in EL CAPITAN? Does it still disregard and not remember changes? I set my computer to sleep after an hour of inactivity and it goes back to default. Its if it doesn't remember my changes. This has occurred since mavericks. Is it still the same with EL CAPITAN? Thanks for any answers!
Reviews seem consistently positive in terms of OSX running better, but the issue of program compatibility is neglected. Parallels, for instance, is extorting users into another upgrade (I've already upgraded two systems earlier this year, and now have to do it again). Nobody is mentioning Bootcamp (which was never properly supported anyway) and compatibility with Windows 7, which some of us still rely on. Just saying that early adopters need, as always, to beware, especially if they have any legacy products at all.
don’t upgrade if you use a brother multi function unit to scan to your email. no updates available till at least the end of the month or later!
