Definitely, but Edge as least has chord/position changes in his parts.  Most of Gilmour's performance in "Give Blood" is sitting in a single position and repeating the same simple pattern ad nauseam with no deviation.  And his solo is just a slow walk up of a major scale.  I mean, that's just a classic example of a guy using effects as a crutch instead of a tool.  

I like most of Pink Floyd's catalogue and I have a lot of respect for Gilmour as an artist, but it's ridiculous to me that some have to take things a step further and try to categorize him as some kind of guitar god.  He's by no means Kurt Cobain bad on the instrument, but his playing certainly doesn't deserve placement on a pedestal, either.
