Description

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?

Research direction

The work is complete only when the supported-backend policy is decided and its implications for existing backend support are addressed.
