Don't want to turn this into a pointless editor war. But there is a vala vim syntax file at the wiki [1] which works pretty fine for me (it's probably a bit outdated though). If you're a vim die-hard you probably also want to create an ftplugin and indent file to get equal comfort as with C for example. I'm personally not very font of the omnicomplete interface, so I didn't look any further in some sort of intellisense (tm) for vala and am mostly fine with simple tag-complete. Nonetheless if someone decides to want the work on this, consider me in. There was some earlier work by Abderrahim Kitouni for ctags support [2], although I'm not sure external parsing libraries would ever get accepted by the ctags upstream team.
