As @aperson said, Geany is a very good text editor - It is lightweight with lots of features. It also supports vala (you need to install valac first though for full vala features). A lot of its features are IDE like eg. you can build/run with 1 click.
To install, run sudo apt-get install valac geany or search for 'valac' and 'geany' in Ubuntu Software Centre.

How in the world can one compile all the files in the project with Vala? I know there are build/compile options, but I haven't a clue how to get them linked so I can use one file in another.

There is new project called Valama, you can check:
https://github.com/Valama/valama
It uses gtksourceview, so editor experience is similar to gedit, but it's still in early development phase.
UPDATE: It is getting better every day, there is active development on going.

There are two plugins for Gedit that provide Vala support. Valencia and VTG both add autocompletion, symbol browsing and basic project management through makefiles
Valencia is the easier of the two to setup because VTG depends on gtksourcecompletion, but VTG has made several recent releases.

+1 You can't be voted down for saying Geany when the top answer so far is .. Geany. Geany rocks and I would argue that with the terminal plugin, you can use ssh / scp / ftp / svn / bzr / diff / meld etc from the command line. It has all the features you get in a "real" IDE. BTW I don't program in Vala so perhaps I should get voted down too.

I don't care about the downvotes, what puzzles me is that my answer was the first. In any case, I love geany and it's my editor of choice. It has a great feature set and is immensely useful.

Val(a)IDE seems to be the only IDE with Vala support, so if you want an IDE that is properly the way to go. Personally I use Vim for my coding needs, I think it makes good sense to use a powerfull editor instead of a single purpose IDE.
Instead of knowing 20% of the commands (keyboard shortcuts) in five IDE's I can get to know 99% of the commands in one editor.

Except manually editing CMake/Make/Automake projects is a pain and that alone merits an IDE. I'm a big VIM fan, but if I need project management, I'd have to go with an IDE. And that's not even taking into account the convenience of auto complete, symbol tables, real-time syntax checking, etc.

You could use Val(a)IDE, you can find the source/binary at launchpad
The link to Val(a)IDE given by SourceLab seems to be broken.

Surprised no one has mentioned Gnome Builder.
Upon opening the IDE, you can see the kinds of projects it supports (which also includes ones written in Vala):

+1 You can't be voted down for saying Geany when the top answer so far is .. Geany. Geany rocks and I would argue that with the terminal plugin, you can use ssh / scp / ftp / svn / bzr / diff / meld etc from the command line. It has all the features you get in a "real" IDE. BTW I don't program in Vala so perhaps I should get voted down too.

I don't see the need for IDEs because text editors like geany sort of negate any of my reasons for one. I'm sorry you couldn't find my comment helpful; I feel my answer is still relevant to the question asked.

IDE's are merely over-glorified text editors.

+1 You can't be voted down for saying Geany when the top answer so far is .. Geany. Geany rocks and I would argue that with the terminal plugin, you can use ssh / scp / ftp / svn / bzr / diff / meld etc from the command line. It has all the features you get in a "real" IDE. BTW I don't program in Vala so perhaps I should get voted down too.

I don't care about the downvotes, what puzzles me is that my answer was the first. In any case, I love geany and it's my editor of choice. It has a great feature set and is immensely useful.

Val(a)IDE seems to be the only IDE with Vala support, so if you want an IDE that is properly the way to go. Personally I use Vim for my coding needs, I think it makes good sense to use a powerfull editor instead of a single purpose IDE.
Instead of knowing 20% of the commands (keyboard shortcuts) in five IDE's I can get to know 99% of the commands in one editor.

Except manually editing CMake/Make/Automake projects is a pain and that alone merits an IDE. I'm a big VIM fan, but if I need project management, I'd have to go with an IDE. And that's not even taking into account the convenience of auto complete, symbol tables, real-time syntax checking, etc.

You could use Val(a)IDE, you can find the source/binary at launchpad
The link to Val(a)IDE given by SourceLab seems to be broken.

Surprised no one has mentioned Gnome Builder.
Upon opening the IDE, you can see the kinds of projects it supports (which also includes ones written in Vala):
