I've only owned an Xbox 360, never any PlayStation, but I assume the same question applies to Achievements?
I like them (for the most part) and I enjoy collecting them. Usually when starting a new game, I'll check what Achievements are available and try to go for them.
I do not give an effing eff about my Gamer Score or my total Achievement count, and I don't like Achievements that are just given for grinding, or for no special reason, or for no reason at all ("Congratulations, you booted up this game for the first time! Here's 0 points.")
But when they're creative, or encourage taking on an extra challenge, or for little things that players might not necessarily think of doing otherwise, then I dig them.
[Edit to add]
I'll admit, I was a bit peeved when some of my "completed games" (the Xbox equiv of a platinum) got revoked when I took the console online for the first time and it realised there was DLC that I didn't own.
