It drove me nuts when they updated the maximize button behavior to full screen.

I use ShiftIt, a neat little Open Source tool that help me manage windows sizes and positions (including minimizing and maximizing): https://github.com/fikovnik/ShiftIt

I've recommend it to pretty much any Mac user I've met.

Haven't used ShiftIt, but I've been using Spectacle to accomplish the same thing. They seem pretty similar, overall. Works pretty well and I've had no issues.

I used Spectacle for years than was forced to switch to ShiftIt at a new employer. ShiftIt default hotkey combos didn’t conflict with other apps like Spectacle.

Alternatively, use opt-click to just invoke the old-style maximise. No add-on needed.

Double-clicking on empty window chrome also works.
