While I miss their contributions, Fripp/Belew/Levin/Bruford is an amazing lineup and their albums are pretty underrated.

Oh c'mon. They had some great albums without him.

Depends on what period.
If it's the loss of Barrett, that's not something I weep over, he still got to put out 2 solo albums which featured a lot of input from Waters and Gilmour so I almost consider them unofficial Floyd albums.
The departure of Barrett was vital to the band's evolution and they put out a lot of stuff that far exceeds anything they done under Barrett IMO, I'm more of a Waters and Gilmour fan personally.
The Final Cut was a disaster and it was Waters' JC complex that really wrecked the band. I still think Gilmour can write songs on his own, I like Division Bell a lot, but it's not the same without Waters.
