I just yesterday found a circumstance where it is useful.  I was
testing a .vimrc for someone else using

    gvim -u ~michael/.vimrc

and large numbers of errors occurred (from line continuations mostly)
because compatible was set.  I could use -N instead, but set nocp
would have avoided embarrassing head scratching.
