It would be nice to have some GObject features, like completion of 
properties and signals names, with calltips to show details about a 
property or signal, and a button to add the callback function with the 
correct parameters.

Also for handling the GObject boilerplate, like renaming a class and 
keeping a correct indentation with the GNOME conventions (also for 
lining up the function paramaters).

See https://wiki.gnome.org/GnomeLove/Tools-C-language
The page is far from complete, but it lists some tools.

There is lot of room for improvement in this area.
