Is there a preference for the term ‘third-world’ to ‘developing nation’

"Developing" (or less euphemistically, "poor") is better because "3rd world" has specific cold-war related connotations that are less and less relevant as time goes on - eg, a poor former soviet bloc country wouldn't be "3rd world" as some people understand the term.
