Good choice! :-)

As Michael said, it could definitely work. But is there any specific
reason why you would like to choose a terminal app over a GUI
(desktop) app? Or even a Web app? Easy deployment with little
dependencies, end-users are already used to terminal apps etc?

If you do use tiOPF, you could always use tiOPF's MGM
(Model-GUI-Mediator) which makes GUI binding very easy with very
little code. MGM already supports fpGUI, LCL and VCL. I would
obviously recommend fpGUI for the job, which gives you lots of
possibilities to customize the look of your app, and it has very low
library dependencies... but them I might be a bit bias towards fpGUI.
