What's the benefit of the Parrot Virtual Machine for end-users (software developers)?
For example, if I could program against Perl or Python directly why would I bother programming for them under Parrot?

Basically, the typical benefits of a VM (portability, runtime optimizations, etc.). From the main page:
Parrot is just different from typical VM in that it's designed to support any existing language, not just an specific language. So, when Parrot improves, every supported language does improve.
