Use NSUserDefaults instead of .xeasymotionrc #4

I was just trying out the latest changes. It took me a little while to figure out I needed to have an .xeasymotionrc file and the Yaml framework. I think NSUserDefaults should be used instead since it's an expected way to store configurations on OS X. It's well supported by the core framework which would make it easier to create a preferences window.

I also think that OS X GUI apps shouldn't clutter the $HOME directory with dot files. If they must, they should at least conform to the XDG Base Directory spec.

good idea. I don't know NSUserDefaults to store data into *.plist in the past.

It's been a while since I developed for OS X, but I think you can have a default plist bundled with the app. You can also bind the view states to it as well. It makes it much easier to manage default settings for the app.
