Don't be misled by the name - that just describes the original motivation for it, not its functionality.
Just recently he released a version with proper statement completion - that's a chargeable add-on (the core tool is free), but a minute amount of money and well worth it, I think.
The Mono project includes an interactive C# shell, this may be just what you're looking for.

C# Interactive window and csi.exe REPL were added to Visual Studio 2015 Update 1:
Introducing Interactive
The Interactive Window is back! The C# Interactive Window returns in Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 along with a couple other interactive treats:
C# Interactive. The C# Interactive window is essentially a read-eval-print-loop (REPL) that allows you to play and explore with .NET technologies while taking advantage of editor features like IntelliSense, syntax-coloring, etc. Learn more about how to use C# Interactive on Channel 9 or by reading our beginner’s walkthrough.
csi. If you don’t want to open Visual Studio to play around with C# or run a script file, you can access the interactive engine from the Developer Command Prompt. Type
csi /path/myScript.csx
to execute a script file or type simplycsi
to drop inside the command-line REPL.Scripting APIs. The Scripting APIs give you the ability to execute snippets of C# code in a host-created execution environment. You can learn more about how to create your own C# script engine by checking out our code samples.
See What’s New in Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 for .NET Managed Languages.
