Yes, I would...

First of all, I have the EX-2F and I love that camera.  It's one of the finest enthusiast models utilizing the 1/1.,7" sensor that I've used (and I've used quite a few of them).

The camera is built like a little tank, has superb definition and and render colors superbly.  And as you questioned, even today, I would not hesitate to get this camera (provided it's in great condition of course).

For me, I find that using the Average Metering option in the EX-2F as opposed to Samsung's multi-segment metering is superior in keeping the hi-lights in check.  But the colors, the ergonomics, and overall IQ of this camera still makes it relevant today.  The 12 MP's on this EX-2F are excellent ones.  I'm glad to have gotten my paws on this camera and it's one of those "keepers" that is staying in my collection.

A few samples for you - all initially shot in RAW and converted with Lightroom.
