Values of 'char *' should be rendered correctly, char[] are not yet rendered (OC-6475)
Though, you can easily invoke Evaluate Expression (Alt+F8) from Variable list and cast it to char *:
BTW, as long as you're talking about future App Code features, one of the most useful features that appears to be missing from AppCode is an "auto variable" debug window. That's the window where it looks at the place in the code that the program is stopped at and displays all the symbols in their values being used within a few lines before and after the cursor. That takes up much less space, and most of the time, it's what you want to see... 
Really - that would add a ton of value.
Thanks for considering,

P. S. If I had to name an existing feature, unique to AppCode, that adds a ton of productivity, it'd be the intelligent auto-complete match, that makes "auto-complete" a misnomer. It's little things like that that makes it feel like I'm in the future.
To that, I'd also add the refactoring ability that is unmatched for C++ code.
I was talking with a lot of my programming friends, and we all agreed that for programming tools, there's a lot of very fancy features that we rarely use, but these tiny, extra simple things we use all the time make an enormous difference in programming productivity. Things like "Find Usages", etc...
