Thanks, glad you are liking the new updates! We just released a new beta that has separate keying of X/Y for translate, scale, and shear, plus it allows RGB to be keyed separately from alpha.
What would you want to see in the graph for deform keys?
Each deform key stores the position of all the vertices. It wouldn't make sense to show a curve for X and another for Y for every vertex. That would be a ton of curves and probably would be unusable.
That is why we show deform keys similar to the old graph, as you mentioned, allowing you to control the difference from one mesh deform to the next.
