To > me GIMP's Unsharp Mask has a better range and control. For example, after down-scaling an image, sharpen of 20% can work well. Unsharp tends to introduce artifacts if overdone. After scanning a greyscale engraving I sometimes do a gaussian blur followed by a sharpen at 80% or so. THis works better than colours->threshold if you're going to scale down the image. > Will Wavelet Sharpen be included in GIMP 2.8?

It's not so much the goal to reduce the number of plugins as to get rid of bad ones and replace them with better ones..
