Why would you set up this hacker haven there if you can do the same thing in a cheap but paradisiac country like Thailand or the Philippines for the same cost?
As a dad, I am personally very happy to pay taxes in exchange for the overall infrastructure (schools, hospitals, roads, doctors, health insurance etc) and (edit) food :) (although I really dig thai food).
I will probably move half-time to such a place though, once my kids have left school :)
Sure, most Westerners can enter the Schengen zone for 90 days visa-free but after that you've either got to leave for another 90 (or is it 180?) or get sponsorship of some sort.
(Obviously this is a rather Amero-centric reply and doesn't apply to other EU citizens)

French food, art and culture. (Not to take anything away from Thailand or Chile)
And visa process. Good luck with that.

True. (I am French, it is hard to see these things as being motivating enough to relocate in a country-side village...).
Visa is probably a favourable thing in comparison to Thailand / Philippines ...
