Holding the Option key when clicking the Full Screen button is part of my muscle memory now.
I never understood the reasoning behind trying to change user behavior to favor 'full screen' over 'maximize' in a multitasking OS.

I think it is even more convenient. Another thing that made me mad in the past was when they switched New Folder from being Command-N to Command-Shift-N during the transition from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X. Nowadays I tend to just make new folders in the terminal with mkdir.

Besides, in the Keyboard section of System Preferences, you can remap any menu command to any key sequence that you want. (It is unfortunate that these mappings are as buried as they are.)
