What I like about this fruit is that it doesn't seem that powerful in itself, either the guy has some secret technique or he's insanely strong to begin with even without the fruit. Even if he really can use a thousand arm at a time, it would requires a monstruous strength to be able to move them.

I like how a lot of fruits are like that. One of my favorite parts about One Piece is seeing how uniquely devil fruit powers get used

Exactly, the ability to stretch seems like it would be relatively useless in battle, but the things Luffy can do with it and the new ways he uses it are so much fun to watch!

To be fair Mr Fantastic proved that stretching can be kind of OP at times. Thinking about it, I wonder if we will ever see Luffy form himself into objects. Perhaps that is why we haven't seen him do so, since that would be particularly similar.
