I definitely feel like I've got a lot more time out of games than I would have otherwise. Giving me things to do that I wouldn't have done or even thought of without them.

This.

When done right, achievements are a fun challenge to milk a little more juice from a game, as it can be fun to have an excuse to continue to play a game that maybe you've already beaten. It can encourage you to play with different characters or visit different places... they're nice when done well.

Yep. I enjoy achievements that encourage or guide me to something a bit different. If I discover them naturally, it feels like a little nod from the devs of “yep, we thought about that too, good find”. If I learn about them just by looking at the achievements, I get to go try out something new/interesting.
