I think the true "code smell" would be if the imported namespaces are all, or mostly, wildly different in purpose. To be honest, I've rarely had more than 6 to 8 using's in a single C# file.

I'd like to give you a second +1 if I could, just for using the term "code smell" correctly!

!@Greg - I agree, usually the "usings" are related. I think in this case it's a case over abstraction because about 15-20 of the "usings" come from application namespaces and the rest from .net framework.
