Up until recently they have worked perfectly.  Now, when running any of these, if I switch to an OS X application and then switch back, they get the spinning ball of death and I have to force quit out of Wine.

1- Support for WINE is primarily based on the specific Application.
See:  https://www.winehq.org/help/

2- I don’t have see that problem with WINE as I don’t use it that often anymore, however, I see it constantly with OSX application to OSX Application in El Capitan.

Just today, I had Mail crash to the desktop while trying to address a message using a 15 person Contacts list.

I get the spinning-beachball effect CONSTANTLY now with El-Capitan with standard OSX apps as well as others.
To me it appears that it has to do with Apple’s memory management and its attempts to integrate OSX with iCloud.
Loading delays were bad with 10.10 and have gotten worse with 10.11
