No plugins but some talking around WP 3.5 upgrading and what I found.
I waited a few days this time to start the upgrade process and I am glad I did since from the time 3.5 dropped to when I started updating several of my most used plugins were updated and I have one plugin I raved about a couple of shows back SlideDeck seems to have some issue with 3.5 so on that site I had to revert back to 3.4.
You have to love WordPress for ease of reverting back a version when all you have to do is re upload the previous version files and it drops back.
Talk about having to revise my top 10 plugins seems that a couple of my fav top ten plugins have been incorporated into others and one has aged beyond showing in repository meaning they are over 2 years old, this is interesting to note a way that Automatic is trying to prevent people from using older plugins..
