Comment (by mojca@…):

 I just wanted to say that Qt5 needs testing ;) We spent o lot of time
 debugging it, but I'm not sure if the work was ever finished (I did not
 dive into programming, I was just a tester), but of course there is no way
 to do it inside macports unless you are willing to compile it yourself
 with external Qt5.

 But indeed some extra testing for Qt4 (including printing which was broken
 in 4.x, at least to some point) would be helpful.

 To answer your question: `qt` and `wxt` are not mutually exclusive. The
 problem is that (they claim that) one cannot switch between `qt` and
 `wxt`. If you have `aquaterm` installed, you can always switch to either
 of them. But once you switch to `qt` (and do something with it), you
 cannot switch to `wxt` any longer. Not sure if `qt` as default terminal
 prevents you from using `wxt` altogether.

 The suggestion about `qt4` makes sense. I'm just not sure whether it's
 better to introduce it now or when `qt5` starts being supported in
 MacPorts.
