For example, I have to take a couple vitamin supplements because of my dietary choices (some are necessary, however). I don't eat much and when I do, I can't eat dairy products, and I refuse to eat meat. Because of this, as well as the lack of the kind of money needed to support that kind of diet, supplements are important for me. While nutrients should be taken from food primarily, it depends on each personal situation.

For example, when a woman is pregnant, their normal diet will not provide enough Folic acid that is recommended for prenatal development. Also, if there is a person who is implementing a rigorous exercise/strength training program, they may require more protein stores than what they usually get from their food diet.

If you are able to change your diet to increase your levels of separate vitamins, then I would try that first before taking supplements.

Many people do just fine with their regular diet as long as it has the necessary vitamins/minerals. If they don't, then yes, it would be necessary for someone to use the supplements.

If you have some sort of food allergy and don't get all the nutrients you need from just the food you eat, then supplements will surly help you get them. On the other hand, if you already eat the right food and obtain all the nutrients you need, then there is no need for you to be taking supplements.
