"Vala is, in some sense, a new programming language. Itâs syntax and structure leans heavily towards C#. As Jurg Billeter, the mastermind behind Vala, likes to put it; Vala is an amalgam of different C inspired languages, mostly C++ and C#. An though there is no mercury in this mixture, you'll find many a gold nugget in Vala."

I disagree, WebKit is being directly used in the most visible KDE project of all, Plasma. Others are working on making it into a KPart for Konqueror to use, and I think there was a summer of code project to allow you to swap the web engine it uses at runtime with a click of a button.
It is true that some of the KHTML developers don't particularly like it, but they aren't the whole KDE project. And if they want to keep working on their own code, I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
