You need a SharePoint integrated Powerapps knowledge bomb.

They are starting to roll this functionality out to tenants.

Yes but powerapps is not included in sharepoint itself and user need to go the powerapp studio to develop. Looks like it is replacement of info path form.
One more thing. Currently Microsoft doing more complex stuff for development because doing development developer have to use lot of tools to build new modern ui. They also need lot of knowledge like typescript, yemon, gulp etc. It is not easy like what we used to have in .net .
Developer has to spend more time developing those stuff and Customer also get end product very late as compare to what they usually get quick time.
Currently all things are scattered. It is not on same package\studio.
In future, developer will loose interest for developing this stuff.

- I find the new development method way easier than what it used to be. It really doesn't take long to ramp up into the basics. There was a good 7 part tutorial online, I developed more than I ever did on SharePoint far as a web part is concerned very quickly, and it's really started to come a long way in the past 6 months.
- Most important and crucial steps Microsoft is missing like master page in new modern ui as it is very crucial for most of the intranet sites.
- Microsoft has said they are working on more branding features with ModernUI, but I only have seem some theming. Probably some more advanced stuff coming or will be shown come SharePoint conference in May, but it's definatley on their radar to provide some more customization.
Ankit it is not the first time MS changed the way of developing and it will not be the last i hope. But i understand it is a very strong learning curve you need to pass.
- Yes I know, I am working since 2003 wss on share point technologies. So I have worked from classic webpart to csr and rest api 2013 and online. I personally found that last model 2013 with rest and csr was much more easy for developer and quick implementation. I only like good things in modern ui that its fancy ui. But development is lot more clumsy.
Goal for any new version of programming software should be that how you can create new things very quickly and performance oriented.it is much easier and more developers can work on the Office 365 platform.
