It's powerful, but mostly for codebases you're totally unfamiliar with. Usually there's a compile error or traceback that you can simply understand, and that's obviously a faster solution. The best use case I can think of for "git bisect" is hangs during kernel boot: you can get your system booting over the network and set up with a remotely switchable power supply, and then update the network-boot kernel automatically to be the next stage in the bisect based on whether the system booted successfully, or hung. .. other than that, just use the error message. :-)
