Yes.  And maybe yes or no.

For the first, I am now on 10.11 and in itself all seems well.

Second, for all of the recent releases of Mac OS, I have been having increasingly worse problems of:

(a) The top lines of many windows of most programs vanishing.  This meant I could not move files, close them of conveniently rename them until the top line reappeared a minute or two later.  I had increasingly been suspecting MPro.

(b) MPro was continually showing the rotating beachball of death.  Sometimes this seemed to coincide with contact with the ISP (FreeOLA).  Sometime it started when I selected a MPro window. It also usually lasted a minute or so.  Occasionally I asked if anyone else here had seen these RBBoD problems and met with a resounding silence, making me scratch furrows into my balding head, not a pretty sight.

My Mac is a high performance one bought within the last two years, so these failures to cope were the more curious.

The only other program that I suspected was VRPC as all the other programs I use are either developed by Apple and would thus lead to a storm if any were the cause of these problems or were done by a long-term Mac-and-IOS only developer.

I could see no way of determining the cause of the above two problems apart from drastic measures.

So I changed to Mac's own Mail.  It has no Usenet facility nor does it quite have the range of facilities for handling mailing lists, both of which are a pain.  But it was likely not to display the above two proems nor to cause the first on other programs.  And it didn't and doesn't.  And there is considerable sharing between my Apple kit and iPhone of mail and files through iCloud; very useful for one whose memory was always bad and is now getting worse!

So VRPC was not the cause of the above two problems.  MPro probably was.
