I am one of the comaintainers of the qtoctave package. I know the package is
dead upstream. But last I checked, it worked. (There had been some issues, but I
fixed those that I found.) If it still works fine, I object to retiring it.
That said, I admit I haven't had the occasion to try the new Octave GUI yet. It
may or may not be an adequate replacement for all users.
