There's attractive urban living in the Midwest (and the South) too. Coast = urban kewl stuff, midwest = suburban lame stuff, that's a huge simplification. I'd actually say the opposite. If you desire to own an `urban` home, you have a much better shot at it in the Midwest, than you would have at the coasts. Average dev income will push you to the burbs on the coasts, but not necessarily in the Midwest.
But pay is lower in fly-over country, certainly.

ThoughtWorks is not held to be a great employer and requires a lot of travel; other jobs are often very corporate, working on enterprise software in drab low-rise office parks in the north suburbs. The only thing that really resembles the SF office culture (AFAIK) is in quant trading firms. I guess I'm discounting those out of personal distaste for HFT.
