 The `Response` class subclasses Django's `SimpleTemplateResponse`.  `Response` objects are initialised with data, which should consist of native Python primitives.  REST framework then uses standard HTTP content negotiation to determine how it should render the final response content.
 
-There's no requirement for you to use the `Response` class, you can also return regular `HttpResponse` objects from your views if you want, but it provides a nicer interface for returning Web API responses.
+There's no requirement for you to use the `Response` class, you can also return regular `HttpResponse` or `StreamingHttpResponse` objects from your views if required.  Using the `Response` class simply provides a nicer interface for returning content-negotiated Web API responses, that can be rendered to multiple formats.
 
 Unless you want to heavily customize REST framework for some reason, you should always use an `APIView` class or `@api_view` function for views that return `Response` objects.  Doing so ensures that the view can perform content negotiation and select the appropriate renderer for the response, before it is returned from the view.
