So I was writing a lengthy reply regarding the "growing list" of garbage in my system and my unreasonableness at expecting proper operation out of my OS when it is so cluttered with said garbage, when--OOPS!--up comes the window telling me I ran out of application memory! Safari froze and I was force to quit it. This after following all your directions on what to remove from the system. I had even done a second sweep and found two small Drive Genius items and trashed them, but still it happened again. In fact, after I forced quit Safari I wanted to go to my MacMail to find one of the emails I'd received from this thread and--OOPS!--that had frozen too along with Dashlane.
So I restarted the iMac and ran EtreCheck again. The results are below. But before that, let me stress again, all this happened only after upgrading to El Capitan. My system was identically "altered" to the point of unreasonableness with Yosemite and I never had any problems. I wasn't even familiar with the concept of running out of application memory until this started happening.
With that, I give you:
