Everybody that I know hates them, and I'm terrified of them. Is there anybody out there who genuinely likes them? Paper wasps and mud wasps don't seem that bad as they are apparently not aggressive.

Why on earth would anyone like wasps? I particularly hate red wasps they hurt like hell. I do like honey bees though.
Paper wasps and hornets, like yellow jackets, are social wasps - they help control garden pests. Both can inflect nasty stings and can be aggressive, but they don't scavenge like yellow jackets and so are less likely to show up at outdoor activities.
I have many nests on my backyard, and I am terrified. They are pretty aggressive and they sting!
I don't mind wasps - so long as they stay outside and don't sting me. I've been stung by both bees and wasps before, and the latter definitely hurts more.
I don't like them around me, but I admire their beauty and how perfectly they are made for their function. I discovered a wasp nest inside the cover of my propane tank last year, and that made me very uneasy, but at the same time, I didn't want to kill them because they are so wonderfully made.

In 6th grade (late spring, 1969), we were having band rehearsal in the cafeteria room. Our school wasn't air-conditioned, so the windows were open. As the instructor was going over the brass section's parts, Billy was sitting in the woodwind section, holding his saxophone, when suddenly HE WENT TOTALLY BERSERK, yelling and tearing at his shirt. When he finally got his sax off its lanyard, took off his shirt, and calmed down, it turned out that a wasp had dive-bombed him, flying down his shirt, and stung him several times.
