I'll admit, one of the reasons I got started editing in the first place was to try to get achievements and points. It was fun to try to hunt around for pages that needed updates, and a challenge to make sure those updates were always constructive.

At this point, I don't care much if they stay or go anymore, but they do seem to help pull in new editors.
