I found linter-elm-make to be glitchy as hell. It reports issues that are 
not there any more, then after a lengthy update of maybe up to a minute it 
finally catches up. Its really not a usable experience at all. It is 
useful, particularly its ability to point out unused imports. I disabled it 
and only enable it occasionally when I am having a bit of a tidy up.
