Having the using directives in each single .cs file allows you to take that file out of an existing project and drop it into another project, provided it has the same references.

Also, adding using directives is basically automatic at this point. My tool of choice, ReSharper. Place the cursor on whatever class isn't recognized, press Alt+Enter, and the using directive gets added automatically. If there are multiple choices, you get to pick the right one.
