Hi everyone.
Has anyone run into problems in upgrading to their Macs to El Capitan related to type tech software like Python stuff and design-related software?
I suppose I should save my Python site-packages folder to the side.
Anything else to consider?
Thank you.

But reading that El Capitan is basically the optimized version of Yosemite makes me wanna upgrade after all.
I had some issues with any but the latest FontLab 5 builds, they recorded erroneous mouse dragging when clicking in the glyph window, moving points around in the process. Build 5714 seems fine.
Hadn't noticed at first, but Illustrator CS3 crashes on launch. Photoshop and InDesign CS3 work though.
The upgrade process took longer on my work computer than my home computer. Probably because it had to churn through a crapload of ufos.
Robofont, Metrics Machine and FontLab work just fine.
Like Jens said, the site packages folder doesn't get wiped out. That was a nice surprise.
El Capitan includes System Integrity Protection which locks down /usr and /bin. I had to spend a little time updating homebrew and moving a few things to /usr/local/bin.
Other than that, the new OS is fine. There's nothing AMAZING in the update. Just an incremental improvement.
I had installed some packages to /bin which is why I had to move them.
Guess users like me are the reason they added System Integrity Protection
