You can turn off lots of the "refactor recommendation" checks. I've been running pylint across neutron and it's uncovered half a dozen legitimate bugs so far - and that's with many tests still disabled.
I agree that the defaults are too noisy, but its about the only tool that does linting across files - pep8 for example only looks at the current file (and not even the parse tree).
