I crossed Libya in 2013 (coming from Tunisia and exiting to Egypt), ie after the revolution. I didnt have any problems then. Lots of militias, check points, weapons, etc but everyone was very friendly and very hospitable. That inc,udes both locals as well as the guys with the guns. The biggest problem back then was how to get a visa for a country that does not have a government.
I cant comment on the situation right now, but as always in Africa (or when traveling), so long as you have so common sense and obviously stay away from areas of active fighting, it usually isnt nearly as bad as the media has you believe.
Also it will depend on your experience and appetite for adventure... I’d guess its a better place than Somalia, better than Syria/Northen Mali, but worse than Tanzania et al ... only you can decide :-)
