generator-spfx VS powershell

I was originally attempting to create SharePoint web parts by using the Yeoman generator but this project seems abandoned at this point. It initially supported Vue.js, but must have broken down somewhere along the line.

Here is my Module that includes my functions on Azure Extension Properties. It uses the PnP.PowerShellmodule instead of the Graph SDK.

The PnP PowerShell module is the one I would recommend for accessing SharePoint: https://pnp.github.io/powershell/

PnP is the module - it is amazing. The SP cli is a painful (but powerful) nightmare. https://pnp.github.io/powershell/
