My understanding of it is that it's purpose built for widget actions, like
e.g. text entries/editors, zooming on canvas-ish widgets, etc.

The higher level application "zoom-in"/"zoom-out" menu and toolbar actions
can map to the same underlying signals that the binding entries use, but
are a different beast altogether. For the types of applications everyone in
this thread seems to be discussing (e.g. image editors, music editors,
video editors...), it's pretty much exactly what you want. At least that's
been my experience.

Plus you get key rebinding at the GTK+ level for "free" just by drumming up
some custom CSS, for those crazy users who want vim or emacs key bindings
(like this guy: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Vi_key_bindings_in_gtk).
