1. I would assume it's still annoying to file. I'm Belgian, and if I were to move abroad, I would have to file nothing with the Belgian authorities.
Heck, I have filled out US withholding tax forms in the past, and they suck.
2. If you do make more than +- the $100,000, you do obviously end up paying significantly more. There's no clean and reasonable way to exit for (wealthy) americans, if you would want to.
