I have never heard this advice, and have always opened my projects by double clicking on the .smw file in the folder I'm working.? No issues that I can ever recall.
As someone else mentioned, I do often have 2-4 instances open, for copy/pasting from other projects, or making similar edits to multiple programs.? And yes, the instances move around on the toolbar so often that I often catch myself editing the wrong file if I'm not carefully paying attention and they move positions.
The only time I open a file manually from within Simpl using File:Open is if I already have extra instances open, and I want to open a different project.? It opens way faster if Simpl is already running, than if I close the instance I have and then restart up a new instance with the new file I want to start using.
