No question.

Western is a minomer anyway. South Korea, Japan, New Zealand, Australia etc. are to the east of the UK, United States - and they have the same level of development as the "big two". If you want to compare industrialized developed nations, I would say the US does rank high up on the list, with a few disclaimers. Direct comparisons between the US and UK/Oceanic Countries isn't ideal, especially when it comes to Health Care and education - as this country has no concept of universal healthcare/free-post-education.

On every other level, Id say yes. Foreign countries are fun to visit, but live there - no thank you.
