Debugging Vala is a bit, well, suboptimal. It is really helpful to have 
the
generated C code at hand and mainly use gdb for that. I usually use VIM 
for
coding, but Shotwell might work quite well in gnome-builder.

That looks like you have a very old version of Shotwell. Shotwell has
been Gtk3 for ages. Shotwell master branch should even require Gtk+3.0 
>= 3.18
