Ditto and likewise - same applies to pylint, which must have been the most opinionated piece of software I've ever used. The trouble is that there's some very useful warnings buried in the opinion spew - warnings which would be an error in other languages.

pylint is also trivially easy to configure to omit most of these stylistic warnings.

I say this as someone who took 10 minutes to generate and configure the pylintrc for a new project. After taking this time, pylint has been quite useful.
