As long as the ability to use the solution with command-line tools is
part of the scope statement of the project, I am absolutely fine testing
any kind of solution.

Frankly, it is already refreshing that the preference of people who want
to work in command-line is taken into consideration at all and not just
ignored or treated with scorn, as was so often the case in similar
discussions.
