Well, I tried
 - valide - There is completion, though pretty basic one. It is simple and
   lightweight. Unfortunately I failed to configure the project to build a
   library instead of an application.
 - monodevelop - There is some attempt at completion, but it didn't work
   much of the time. It will probably improve, but it does not seem to release
   any new development versions (it's released with monodevelop, which is
   otherwise stable, so it does not need to release so often). On the other
   hand it was able to compile anything.
So I ended up with vim and waf for building for now.

There Vala homepage (http://live.gnome.org/Vala) also links to plugin
for Eclipse, Anjuta (though it's not clear to me whether it got included
in Anjuta or abandoned) and Gedit (which does not have completion yet,
though).
