I raised an issue for the Seer debugger to display Objective-C variables and from the response, it looks like the author is looking into it and has pinned it. This would be helpful to future debugging.
There's also an issue about Windows support and although it is currently labelled as won't fix, it looks like someone compiled all of it under MinGW except for the source file that uses Linux/Unix pseudo consoles.

Re: Screenshots of Obj-C support in Seer GDB debugger
The author of Seer has implemented basic support for Objective-C and has provided screenshots. He asks "So my question to the Objective-C community is, what do you guys do with this when you debug with gdb? Do you consciously use print or print-object depending on the variable type?"
