Views?

hello,

nope, there is no settings for number of comments you would like to see. That depends on the general setting ../wp-admin/options-discussion.php

nope. number of post views are out of scope of this plugin.
Number of post views for each post exclusively, are wrong from the performance side of view. Plus they are not WP native, and the Easy widget is based mostly on WP native functions.

Even though shortcodes could show views on the post page itself?

short codes can do many crazy tricks .. you can even use shortcodes in the EASY plugin. Use the View>shortcode brick for that matter.

So if I have a shortcode for “views” I can’t use it with this to show the views for that post in the loop?

You can do what ever the shortcode does.
What you basically do in that case is that you build the output by shortcode and controlled somehow by the Easy control logic..
the show on post id , or show on such and such page type will work, but surely you won’t control custom types and such, is it will be beaten by the shortcode it self i suppose.

if you do not need the Control logic offered by Easy, use the native text widget, that should be enough.
