I think you must be confused here. I too prefer qt plots, but gnuplot produces 
the best octave qt plots--in my opinion.

I am running Homebrew Octave on Mac OSX Sierra 10.12.5.

In my ~/.bash_profile file I specify
  alias octave='octave-cli --no-window-system’
I never run anything but octave-cli.

My ~/.octaverc file specifies
  graphics_toolkit gnuplot;
  setenv GNUTERM qt;

All my octave graphics are done by gnuplot, and I do a lot of pretty elaborate 
graphics.
