You don't have to use the admin prefix, but it might help if you have two
types of authenticated users, who might see different versions of an edit
action on a controller.
For example, in one website I did, we had the administrators who would
authenticate to edit the site, and we had website members who would
authenticate to login, and change their profiles, etc.
So we had a Users controller with a admin_edit action for the administrator
so the admin could edit the users via the admin UI, and an edit action for
members that wold edit their own profile via the front end UI.
If you only have one type of authenticating user, and want to keep it
simple, then skip prefix routing. However, if you think that you might
have two types of authenticating users (admins and members), then use the
prefix routing.
