They can now clone space-vim directly to ~/.vim without the need for a symlink from ~/.vimrc to the space-vim install location. Neovim users could already directly clone space-vim to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim (e.g. ~/.config/nvim) without the need for an extra symlink.
The symlink will work unless the filesystem doesn't support symlinks, a filesystem such at FAT, which is extremely unlikely for ~.
Allows for a simpler installation for Vim users.
