Summary:
The new crash reporting UI introduced in Xcode 6.3 includes crashes coming from raised NSExceptions (as shown in attached screenshot). However, nowhere in that UI is the exception message included, which makes debugging crashes an impossible task.

Steps to Reproduce:
Force a crash from an exception:

NSException *exception = [NSException
        exceptionWithName:@“TestException”
        reason:@“This is a test exception. My message won’t be displayed in Xcode :(”
        userInfo:nil];
@throw exception;

Expected Results:
The message “This is a test exception. My message won’t be displayed in Xcode :(“ is included along with the crash report in Xcode’s organizer. 

Actual Results:
Only the stack trace is visible.

Regression:
Not only is this a problem for exceptions thrown, but also any exception thrown by NSAssertion macros!
