>Generally only useful at lower levels. As an example we have two Orcs standing side by side (not more than 5 feet) to each other. We call them Orci and Morci

> You take an action (This action casting a spell; a cantrip called "Green-Flame Blade")

>As part of this action "Green-Flame Blade" you make a (only one) melee attack ("Roll d20 + attack bonus+ Whateveryouhave) against a foe in your range of the spell (5 feet), I suggest that you want to hit Orci

>OPTION A:

>You hit Orci (make damage, +whatever your attack makes)
> The magic green fire of the mighty green blade enlightens the poor Orci with incredible hurting flames - flames from hell - and jumps (without hurting Orci) to Morci
> Morci gets damage in height of your spellcasting modifier (6.) At higher Levels you would roll a +dX additionally

>OPTION B:

> You miss Orci
>Nothing happens

That implies exceptions.
What are those?

the exceptions are "be a class that doesn't get extra attacks and doesn't have something better to spend their actions on"
like arcane trickster or something

Makes sense.
I guess a war domain Cleric that's intent on larping as an actual melee fighter might also make some use of it.
What about Eldritch Knight Fighters and Bladesinger Wizards?
I think I remember the last time I played 5e we had a Bladesinger that made good use out of it, but it's been years.

EK is usually better off just attacking, while war cleric and bladesinger will eventually reach the point every caster does where they have so many slots they never really need to use cantrips
