I have lived in both the US and in Europe for many years. In my opinion, US is a good place to build a career and to live when you are younger and still single or having no children. As one grows older, other priorities become more important, such as security, health insurance, kids, peace of mind, retirement and so on.
I am at a stage in my life where I am contemplating a move back to Europe. The rat race here in US gets kind of old after a while. Europeans know how to enjoy life. Americans know how to enjoy things. That to me is one of the main differences between them.
I can highly recommend everyone to watch the new documentary by Michael Moore (You can watch it for free, if you have Amazon Prime). It is called "Where to invade next.". Pretty much talking about the most positive aspects of life in Europe and why America is so far behind on basic stuff such as dealing with drug abuse, free education, health care, prison systems, minimum wages and so on.
Obviously, this is just my personal observations. Ultimately, it comes down to how you define "quality" in life.
