I always do a completely clean install of major OS updates for the

1. It's too easy to blame "upgrade" installs for problems seen
later on.
In other words upgrade installs often get blamed for things not
related to the upgrade or upgrade process. Often it is some issue
with the existing install that is at fault (file system, etc. error
induced, bad installer induced used at some point or user induced).
I have a few systems that have been upgraded from 10.1 and one from
10.0 to 10.4 (and most of the releases in between on the way) and
they work just fine.
For the developer tools, since I muck around with their installs
sometimes, I may use the uninstall perl script (/Developer/Tools/
uninstall-devtools.pl) to clean out the existing install before
installing the new version.
With the developer tools you can also have issues with plugins that
you added that are not compatible with a newer version of the tools.
So also try to remember what things you may have added that could be
contributing to any problems you are seeing.
