There are some important applications which have been affected by the upgrade, two of which are preventing me from moving to El Capitan fulltime. One is Microsoft Office 2016, which I’ve recently purchased, and the other is Filemaker Pro 14, upon which I depend to make a living. Both products have been pinpointed as being unstable in El Capitan. The Filemaker fix is projected for later this month, and I have no idea when the Office fix will arrive. I can get by with Office 2011, but the Filemaker 14 issues is a deal breaker for me. I have El Capitan installed on an external drive so I can become familiar with it, but I’ll just need to patient until Filemaker gets their act together.
