Do I need to set all my routes in Routes.php?

The new and edit methods are intended to return forms, based on Ruby on Rails, IIRC.

While it might feel cumbersome at first to record every single route in the routes file, I can say from experience it becomes nice. It acts as documentation about what routes are in the system, making it simple to look up what controller/method is handling that route. It also provides a lot of extra features that you don't get just by auto-routing, including ensuring a route only handles the HTTP verb it's supposed to.
