One glitch associated with reverting to 10.8.5 from 10.9 was the Adobe Creative Suite CS4 lost its authorization and I couldn't use it. Finally, I had to get out the DVD set and re-install CS4. It worked just fine after that. It's the only major problem I experienced in the operation.

If I'd waited much longer to downgrade, I would have lost a lot more work than I did during my time using Mavericks. As it was, the loss was minimal. You can avoid the loss by attaching documents to one or more emails that you can send to yourself if you have more than one email account.
