I used to have an alias for `vim --remote` so that I could easily open files from the commandline in a permanently running gvim session. Usually it would work, but sometimes it would just do nothing and not print any sort of error. I guess I was probably doing something wrong, but I didn't really dig into it that much. After a while I just decided I liked vim in the terminal more anyway.
