Could some one please explain the advantages and disadvantages of using the new MVC2 Areas feature?

I don’t understand what is so great about them. If I am adding an admin area to my MVC application why not create a new Admin folder in the main Views and Controllers folder? What does creating an area really get me?

    This is what Phil Haack says:

    The scenario that areas address is
    being able to partition your
    application into discrete areas of
    functionality. It helps make managing
    a large application more manageable
    and allows for creating distinct
    applets that you can drop into an
    application.

    An admin section wouldn’t qualify as an applet as it logically belongs with your application and may even share models with it.
