First, nobody needs to promote Vala. The fact that you keep returning to promotion and advertisement implies you really aren't that familiar with the OSS model. As a project, it'll grow organically (just as it already has). No advertisements needed.
Also, Vala *does* have a lot of perks that make it more than just another niche language. With no additional runtime, it runs at the speed of C with a syntax like C#. It can also link directly to C code, no bindings necessary.
But hey, if you don't like it, don't use it.
