Thanks for the input.  I did try valide, but I couldn't find any kind 
vala-level source code debugging.  Do you know if valide offers that, and if 
so, how do I access it?

I'm wondering if anyone knows how to enable autocomplete with monodevelop-vala. 
If my random google searches are to be believed, it seems as though this can be 
accomplished somehow withe a afrodite library in vtg, but I can't find 
instruction how. 

Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated. 


IIRC MonoDevelop auto-complets using CTags, which should "just work" most of 
the time with C / Vala stuff. 
Try the following: 


int abcdefghijkl = 0; 

abc (now hit Ctrl + Space) while the cursor is beside the "c". It should 
auto-complete-suggest-etc 


I will advise Val(a)Ide, its an IDE written especially for Vala, in Vala. :-) 
IMO its quite similar to MonoDev, exept 
that it works better with Vala, doesnt rely on huge "virtual machines" or any 
of that. 
It has integrated support for the Waf build system, allowing others to just 
compile without having to have ValaIde 
installed. This is an essential feature, that is missing from MonoDevelop.
