With every update I seem to have to reinstall just about any command line tool that I've previously installed because either they've moved some executables, or deprecated something , or the old binaries simply do not work with the newer version of the os. MySQL is probably the biggest annoyance with regard to upgrading. I don't believe that this is just a thing that I go through because the answers to my problems are a Google search away and I've taken an 07 MBP from Leopard to Mountain Lion.

I've never had that problem, but I've only been on OS X since Snow Leopard, and it seems that things have remained pretty consistent.

I also try to do as much installation from Homebrew (http://mxcl.github.io/homebrew/) as possible, so that I can let the package manager worry about stuff like that.
