I would like it to be shown in the post combat stats like in Starcraft.
The problem with APM counters that are not integrated in the game is that they are either "live" which means you only can see your apm in the present (where you are often elsewhere occupied) or the counter is a recording tool that will count pauses and between game time into the total APM. It would be a nice feature to get an integrated APM counter in AOE II DE.
While it is by no means a direct meassure of skill APM can still be a fun tool to moniter ones own progress with regards to speed, mechanics and playstyle and to compare these to other players.
I support the developers focus on leaving the visual information minimal, leaving room for careful micro to boost eco (i.e. no 'smart' villagers) and other 'inconveniences' in an effort to maintain a high skill ceiling... and maintaining/improving game balance, depth and play experience above all else
But if they have the time and desire for an APM counter (or EAPM, stats etc) I won't protest
