Can I curve Shapes like on Illustrator?

In Illustrator you can have a shape and curve it with a few buttons and it looks good, I know Illustrator is better with Vectors but I'd like to know if it's there's any way to curve a shape on Photoshop that doesn't look weird. I'll send and example of the curve I'm talking about.

Here on illustrator I curved a triangle horizontally.

On photoshop the only way I could think to do this was to convert it to a smart object and use the puppet warp toll and it doesn't look very good. There's also warping but it never looks like a clean curve as well, is there a way to warp evenly?

I'm wondering if there's any way to do it that I may have not thought of or some addon, being able to do this in photoshop would help me a lot.

Yes you can warp them using Free Transform and the Options bar > Warp > Custom dropdown.

It's definitely best to make the shape layer a Smart Object, because that keeps the handles in the original positions if you need to edit the warp.

Thank you so much, I didn't know Warp had these extra functions, this is exactly what I wanted
