IMHO only if you make something small. TV allows the most rich textmode
apps I know. Problem is that it might require some debugging here and there,
but that will pay itself back on a larger project. Specially if you have
no gigantic requirements on terminal independance.

Look at the IDE (+source) to get an idea of the potential of TV/FV.

Definitely. But also has way more possibilities, and is more productive.
