I have this in my .vimrc:

Should this be needed? Shouldn't comments in lisp start w/';' by
default and coffeescript files have the coffee filetype when opened?
I've seen some plugins have 'ftdetect' folders (or files?), is that
what's needed here?
Remove your vimrc or give it a different name, restart Vim, and see what
happens. If these filetypes and comment strings are still recognised,
then these commands are indeed not needed (or maybe they once were but
the need has disappeared). Note that AFAIK, current Vim doesn't know any
"coffee" or "stylus" filetypes out of the box. For both lisp and scheme,
and even when 'filetype' is not set, my Vim sets 'commentstring' to
/*%s*/ which is the default. According to the help, that option is only
used to set fold markers.
A similar FileType autocommand ought to be in
$VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/lisp.vim and/or $VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/scheme.vim ;
similar BufEnter,BufNewFile autocommands ought to be in
$VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim
HOWEVER, if they aren't there, DON'T modify those files in place: any
upgrade of the runtime files may silently undo any changes you make
there. Instead, you may, if you wish, and if they aren't already
present, add these autocommands in *new* files which Vim will read if
present but never modify (if their directories don't exist yet, create
them too):
the FileType autocommand goes into ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/lisp.vim and/or
~/.vim/after/ftplugin/scheme.vim
the BufEnter,BufNewFile autocommands go between "augroup filetypedetect"
and "augroup END" (both without quotes and on their own linres) in
~/.vim/filetype.vim
On Windows, replace ~/.vim/ by $HOME/vimfiles/
