I think they're cute, and I've heard even some people scared of spiders like them.

I love them, they have genuine curiosity and will hang out and watch you. Caught a fairly large one last week that must have been on the door when I opened it.
the two big eyes and compact form defrays a lot of the ick, i still wouldnt let on crawl on me but i don't get the viseral lizard brain freak-out from them.
Had one sit on the tip of my finger for several minutes once while it was spooling out a web line that made it look like it was practicing karate.
They're really cute, until they jump towards you... 
I think they are cute little fellas and can appreciate them as long as they aren't touching me.
Not sure that I have full-blown arachnophobia, but he looks kinda cute. If he kept his distance I could probably tolerate being near 'em.
My wife has pretty severe arachnophobia. This picture would absolutely ruin her day. :(
I love jumping spiders and wolf spiders
