I think Waters has a very bitter/sarcastic voice at times (The Wall) and Gilmour has a much softer voice in general.

I like Waters' voice more, but my favorite songs have Gilmour singing... does that make any sense?

The appeal of Pink Floyd has never been the singing (with the notable exception of The Great Gig in the Sky).
Are you kidding? Their voices are completely different and easy to tell apart.

Waters, Gilmour and Wright weren't amazing singers, but their different voices helped make Floyd what it is and they're certainly not replacable.

And Waters vocal style is very imposing.

Waters has an amazing voice, it just seems that Gilmour happens to sing on the most famous ones...

Gilmour is my favorite of the bunch, actually, but Waters is great too.

Wright's vocals were underrated, usually when he sings a part in a song, it's the best part.

Yeah, it sucks that he died. Of all the Pink Floyd members he certainly seemed the most likable as a person.
