The trombone is the only instrument with a (non-tuning) slide, used to change the note and tuning. In theory, a good trombone player should be able to maintain perfect pitch forever, adjusting the position of the slide very slightly as well as flexing their embouchure. The trombone has been scientifically proven to be the loudest wind instrument, capable of overplaying, individually, 3 trumpets, 7 tubas, 40 clarinets, 4 horn players, and sometimes (depending on the players) the entirety of the orchestra.
By other band members, trombones/trombonists are often thought to be a) bad players, b) bad instruments, and/or c) selfish jerks. A is often used when around beginners; it is often hard to adjust to the slide and similar. As for tone, one can't account for everyone's tastes, but those who enjoy trombone sounds praise what they say is a mellow, brassy yet sweet sound accomplished by those proficient with the instrument. See the above for an explanation of beginning sounds. For C, trombones aren't the ones causing that, so please take your insults elsewhere.
As to players themselves, many say they enjoy the playing of the instrument because, firstly, it is, again, the loudest instrument, excepting percussion, etc., secondly, it has an interesting sound, unlike that of trumpets or woodwinds, and lastly, because it is simply fun to wave the slide around and pretend you are shooting a Nerf gun at the conductor.

1. On the night before the concert, I had to practice my trombone part so I could be sure I would play well.
2. The marching band cringed when the trombone players came out, blasting their parts as loudly as their lungs would allow.

The most awesome brass instrument in the world.
Uses a slide to change notes.
Evolved from the ancient sakbut, the first brass instrument able to play a chromatic scale.
Has the same range as the Euphonium, or Baritone, usually based in the key of B flat.
Has many varieations such as the soprano, alto, tenor (the normal trombone), and bass trombone (which is also amazing).
"Trombone" means paperclip in spanish.
