Need? None. We already have the

It's definitely more of a want. For example, FMS Lite hasn't been updated since 2009, can't be implemented very well at teams' practice fields, and the underlying logic is not accessible to the of the community (minus NI and
FIRST, of course). It stands as a decent (but old) solution for some offseason or preseason events. There really isn't any way a team can set up an instance of FMS (homebrew or official) easily for their own purposes.
Plus, after Einstein 2012, I would personally prefer my team's drivers practicing under some sort of FMS to more accurately approximate a real match – and not just driving with the Driver Station set to practice mode.

While I don't know much about node-webkit, I have worked with node.js before. It should be cross-platform, and while there isn't a nice installer or executable, you should be able to
download the source and try it from there, I believe – assuming you have
node.js installed, of course. It wouldn't be a nice, clean .dmg or installer that you'd be used to, but it would be functional. I'm sure you could PM me or gluxon if you have any questions, or you could just wait until the next release.
