max-sixty commented on issue #4511: [AIRFLOW-3695] Replace Flake8 by Pylint URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/4511#issuecomment-455671280 I haven't been involved as an airflow developer, but saw this on the mailing list and thought it would be helpful to comment given my experience with code formatters on half-a-dozen python projects: I've generally had negative experiences with pylint, and I'm not aware of projects having much success with it, relative to flake8 or increasingly black (which is a larger change, and [doesn't operate on diffs](https://github.com/ambv/black/issues/134)). Are there _any_ large python projects using pylint? Projects successfully using flake8 include pandas, sqlalchemy, xarray, django
