In the last week neovim changed their config file location from `~/.nvimrc` to `~/.config/nvim/init.vim`, though config file AFAIK is fully backwards compatible to vim, as I use the same vimrc for neovim and vim.

Are you using neomake by any chance? I might switch from syntastic as neomake seems to support the linters I need (mainly eslint and hlint).

Yes - neomake replaces syntastic for me and it's no. 1 reason I am neovim user.

EDIT: and yeah, neomake would not be effective with classical vim.
