I guess I just figure these two are sort of overlapping. If you use .jshintrc why do you need this tool?

(The neat idea being: if a project has many languages, you can share code conventions for all of them in one place.)

The nice thing about EditorConfig is that it fixes some problems before they occur instead of requiring you to manually fix things after running a linter (e.g. spaces vs tabs)
