Do you force a single instance of the IDE?

I'm considering developing a visual tool for the IDE but I'm having trouble coming up with a solution for dealing with multiple IDEs. What do most people here use?
Personally, I only allow a single instance of the IDE. Tabs do the job of managing multiple files just fine.

I agree: single instance - tabbed.

I allow multiple instances, since I find it easier, and an IDE crash means the
other instances won't go down. With tabs, if the IDE crashes, you lose all the
open sources and unsaved data in one go.

single, but 32 and 64 bit versions can run at the same time

Actually since 4.30 any PB installation can run concurrently even with the setting enabled, as long as they are in different directories.
