I can't think of any valid reason why one lonely user - me for instance - would want to fire up several instances of vim to edit the same file.
It can be. For example, in LNX user can edit file in text console, then switch to X11 and then start editor again to edit the same file, forgetting that other instance of VIM already launched. I in this case just do "killall vim"(or "killall -9 vim", depending on mood).
