Changing DispForm.aspx - current best practices?

The subject pretty much says it all. I'm just looking for opinions. With all the changes with lists on modern site - what is now considered best practices for changing the look of DispForm? Do I still need to crank up Sharepoint Designer?

 

Thanks.

    Juan is half right on number 2 :). You can use Powerapps to "redirect" your List forms. Theoretically replacing the display form/ edit form / new forms with a powerapp. In SharePoint Online you still have Infopath as an option of changing those forms as well in classic views.

    My two cents here:
    1) You cannot use SharePoint Designer with modern experiences
    2) You cannot currently customize modern list forms

      Thanks Juan and Chris. I have started on a SPFx webpart to accomplish what my user has requested, but I'm not that adept at it yet. So I thought I better check to see if there wasn't an OOB way to do what I need first.

       

      I might play around with Powerapps a little for the detail view. But in my past tries at it, it still seems to look a little out of place in the browser.
