I have a MacBook Pro (Mid 2010)

4 RAM
320 hard
Mac OS X Mavericks
Q: Should I upgrade to El Capitan? Will it lie?

I don't think it's necessary. The captain, at least, will not appreciate 4 GB of RAM, and in general it works slower than before.

I would replace the HDD with an SSD and upgrade.

Absolutely do not update. And you obviously do not have the middle of 2010, because. then they were on i7.
I have mid 2010 on i7, 8Gb, FusionDrive. The system works clearly worse than Mavericks.

If you replace the HDD with an SSD, then the old man's flight will definitely be normal.
I also advise you to increase the RAM to 8GB, because according to Apple https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1270#link1 this can be done.

well, if for programming, then maverics can no longer support it. If you have an HDD, then it will kill your poppy, if ssd it will still pull, but in general Yosemite and El capitan are already favorite OS's. I have two poppy white 6.1 with SSD and 7.1 with HDD and it’s no longer possible to work on 7.1 especially if you start programming, you open Xcode and the whole computer dies
