Title: Unity

@michaeltherobot - This is my attempt to get back in sync with your version of master branch and add in some changes that Adam and I made elsewhere.

Major changes:

## Organization

I always put my dotfiles in ~/.dotfiles and make symlinks to them, like `ln -s ~/.dotfiles/.vimrc ~/.vimrc`. Since all the actual files are in .dotfiles, there is no need for them to be hidden inside of there. Therefore, I've changed everything to be visible in that folder.

I've also made the vim and zsh folders consistent: everything belonging to either goes under its named subfolder.

This means symlinks have to be updated as follows: `ln -s ~/.dotfiles/vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc`, etc

## Defaults

My settings are now the default; unless we find `.currentVimUser.vim` and it says `whoami='michael'`, we use the Nathan settings.

## Down with swapfiles

I (finally) turned off swapfiles in Vim.

## Couple of tweaks for Mac

These are conditional and shouldn't affect you.

I think that's everything. Would you try this out and give me a thumbs up or point out issues?
