Is this actually an issue or just expected behavior of running an application in a CLI? Ex, if you start Test Proxy locally in CLI it also "hangs" as the application is just running infinitely in that window / CLI until it crashes or is halted.

I agree that this could be intended behavior, but other servers or similar clis have a message they output to at least say "Running...". So if that's the correct behavior we should improve the console output.
