    PowerApps CLI will be supporting other capabilities and is not limited to the component framework. We are adding these incrementally and I can reach out to tooling PM if there are any specific questions.

    On VS plugins check out the PowerApps blog posted today for build -https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/powerapps-for-pros-develop-faster-with-low-code/

    Thank you for the clarification!

    Does it mean PowerApps CLI is limited to PCF only or any other activities can be done too ?

    Custom component development using PowerApps component framework is professional dev scenario and you can use editor of your choice to to work on TypeScript code for the components. CLI tooling facilitates the project creation and managing/otimizing various develeloper workflows. Once the component is created it can be used by any maket/customizer. Currently we have released public preview for Model-apps. You might be confusing this with canvas components which can be used by any maker in the app. We are in process of adding the PowerApps component framework support for canvas apps too so the pro developers can extend what is available already. Same set of the components will be functional on both app types.

    VS code is the recommended editor currently and CLI team is evaluating visual studio support. 

    You can find more details on the tooling here.
