What kept away from Qt5 were mainly some bugs in their Mac backend which render unusable TeXmacs menus. Changes in the codebase are minimal (as far as I remember).

These bugs seems gone now and so, as soon as Joris is willing to  make major changes, we can start  integrating Qt5 and also see what need to be done for Qt6.
