Can someone please explain to me how this is an improvement over having
a renderText() method? (Being serious... see also previous comment; I
don't see how losing the convenience functions of QGLWidget is an
improvement...)

I have another application that needs to support Qt 5.3 that is
currently using QGLWidget. After my experiences with QOpenGLWidget it is
clear that I would be rather insane to try to port it.
