"Doing good" is relative to what our aims are. Switzerland has to obey all EU rules and regulations or they loose market access and open borders, which would be catastrophic given their trade is mostly with the EU and they are completely surrounded by EU members. However, Switzerland has no say in deciding any of those rules and regulations. They just get a "take it or leave everything" deal each time.
So while Switzerland is doing fine, they are, at least when it comes to trade, borders and certain security measures like weapons controls, very much a second class member. I'm quite sure that is the opposite of what the Brexiteers intended, at least in my interpretation of their aims.
