You didn't show that sticking to Qt4 is specifically useful for anybody 
for valid reasons though. You only stated your dislike of Qt5 without 
reasons.

Please show that switch of the app to Qt5 actually harms anybody, causes 
them loss of time, functionality, pain or suffering, or any other 
adverse consequences.

So far all I see is that all the apps that I use work in Qt5 the same 
way or better than in Qt4.
