Where did they go? How do I edit them?

On another note, one really neat feature would be to allow the creation of additional global field properties and property data types so that we can get more columns added to the entity fields grid. That would make it so much easier and faster to see and edit our field level custom properties instead of having to click each field and then looking at the lower custom properties name/value grid.

Entity editor -> code gen. info tab. Select the field in the combo box, select custom properties tab.

In v3 custom properties are still there, as in v2, but we added a settings feature and additional features to specify attributes for example.

Thanks!

Is there any way (maybe with a custom plugin?) to get custom properties to show up as a new column on the main entity field grid?

No, as they're not intended to be that. If you want new properties in the generated code, simply add a custom partial class: the 'dsl' to type the property is C# or vb.net in that case, which is suitable for that purpose.
