Why Visual Expert needs a separate article and not a section in the PowerBuilder Page

Please note that Visual Expert is used in conjunction with several programming languages: Oracle PL/SQL, SQL Server Transact-SQL, PowerBuilder - Microsoft .NET and other languages announced already.

In most cases, it is analyzing several languages at the same time: front-end + back-end + dependencies between them for instance. So it cannot fit in the page of a single programming language, PowerBuilder or other. Duplicating and maintaining a Visual Expert section for each technology supported is not practicle.

For this reason, you can find in List_of_tools_for_static_code_analysis a very long list of Code Analysis tools like Visual Expert, that also support various programming languages. Most of these tools have their own page.

Also, for comparison pages like Comparison_of_documentation_generators, comparison tables include references to each tool. It is more convenient for the reader to find a dedicated page for each compared tool, with all the related information, no matter the technologies this reader may be interested in. If we would include a Visual Expert section in multiple pages - one per technology - we would need to include multiple references in each comparison table, which is not feasible...
