One big step for security, but an unfortunate breaking change for plug-ins and apps that rely on these kind of hacks for non-malicious things. In OS X El Capitan, Apple has introduced SIP – “System Integrity Protection”, which protects your system from being tampered by malicious software like malware. It’s particularly useful when using a single display. This way, you can easily drag and drop files from Finder to other apps like Xcode or even your active Terminal session without switching desktops.
