Depends on who you ask. The following graphic is on the article about developing countries and includes emerging markets in the „lesser developed“ category: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:IMF_advanced_economi...
Indeed. They may not be at the top when you sort countries by their metrics, but still great to live in.
Depends where. For example Ukraine (before the war) had a similar gdp per capita to my home country, Morocco, which is definitely a developing country. Belarus is richer, but not by much. I guess those two countries are more of an exception now though.
As the the opposite to? And by what metric? Maternal mortality? Human development index? Access to clean water?
