wanting the Qt5 backend
I don't have a strong preference and I might well use Tk from now on.
I previously used Qt5 since it had two advantages compared to Tk: crashed less often and did not require me to click the figure window in order to get back to the REPL/editor (Windows 10). On the other hand, Tk seems to scale better with the screen dpi.
Nowadays the Tk backend works pretty well and is available everywhere. Maybe we should just use it (or the Agg backend for non-interactive code) and drop support for all of the other backends (which complicate the code a lot for not much benefit).
@PaulSoderlind, you mentioned wanting the Qt5 backend; could you elaborate?
