Preface: this review is targeted at people who played the original and are interested if Beamdog's version is worth it.

And yeah, I think so. The game is significantly more stable now on modern computers widescreens. Also, if you don't like the new stylistic changes to the look of the game, they can all be disabled individually. Lots of new quality of life improvements such as icons depicting what your characters are doing as well as porting all the cool goodies from BG2 over to BG1, making it MUCH easier to transfer your character between the two games.
Some of the new characters are admittedly kinda lame, but then again, even Rasaad isn't as bad as Garrick, so that's nothing new.
New content is also nice, and is about as much extra content as Tales of Sword Coast added.
BG2EE on the other hand feels more like an afterthought in comparison.
