Just flew from there however i left the airport for 1 day so don't know about transit without leaving the airport. It's pretty safe and very cheap (taxi to airport about 2eur) however i had a problem as they allow only about 2000$ in cash (lowest i've seen so far anywhere) without declaring it at customs upon arrival (i didn't know that) so when i left the country today they confiscated 800eur from me as i had that much above the allowed limit but they say i can take it back when i come next time by paying some penalty for that and they were very friendly i felt like in Europe as i haven't seen any corruption during the airport expreince. Even when they found out i have more money then allowed they smiled at me and just did their job. For the country itself and the airport from someone who did a lot of transit in Cairo i would say the experience and the people are much above Egypt and since i don't need a visa for Tunis i would gladly do it again to claim my money back

Transiting the airport would probably be similar to transiting any other airport. Perhaps a bit less stream lined than at some of the flashier more modern places but they did have transit lanes in immigration (although I didn't see anyone using them). Not sure what lounge QR uses, the TunisAir lounge is pretty bare bones and not somewhere it would be fun to spend more than 20 minutes or so.

Tunis is fine, so is the rest of the country. I spend quite a lot of time there. Helps if you are ok in French - and Arabic would be even better (though the spoken version is far from standard). But English serves perfectly well in the airport and in hotels.
Not sure what exactly the OP thought might happen to him/her in Tunis.
Problem is getting there - it can be expensive and/or inconvenient since tourism went down the drain.
