I think that the long tail keyword strategy is like climbing ladder.

With a ladder you start from the low steps and climb your way up to the top, if you tried to hop to the top rung first your likely to fail and maybe get hurt, unless you are very skilled. The same is true for marketing a site, it is very difficult to go for the one or two word keyword phrase that everyone wants and is super expensive right out of the gate. If you start working with the 4 word phrases and the two and three word phrases that are not being exploited its easier to build your site up to the point where you can finally go for the top phrases.

Just my opinion of course.

So yes it is useful but its just a strategy to be considered when developing your own.
