Never noticed this reply till now...

Yes, I tried it; unfortunately it does not show the habit graph, that
only displays in the agenda, and the above version uses tags-todo.

I'd like to be able to show habits, *with* the graph though.  The only
way to do that seems to be through the agenda, and the "match"
parameter of agenda custom commands doesn't seem to support the agenda.

I finally figured out a solution:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (defun cwebber/skip-unless-habit ()
    "Checks to see if the style at point is \"habit\""
    (if (not (equal (org-entry-get (point) "STYLE") "habit"))
        ; Skip till the next heading
        (progn (outline-next-heading) (1- (point)))))
  
  (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
        '(("h" "Habits"
           ((agenda
             ""
             ((org-habit-show-all-today t)
              (org-agenda-skip-function 'cwebber/skip-unless-habit)))))))
#+END_SRC

This solution works.  It allows me to pull up just the habits, including
those that have already been done today.

There's only one thing left to do that would make it awesome, and that
would be to make it so that the ones that are now already done said DONE
instead of TODO still.

Other than that, this seems to be kinda working-ish.
