Sharpen better than Unsharp mask

Yesterdays new knowledge was that Sharpen is a better method to sharpen pictures than Unsharp Mask. During the years that I have worked with pictures I have newer heard or read about anybody who have used Sharpen. All books, magazines and manuals have always talked about Unsharp Mask as the method to sharpen pictures. But with Unsharp Mask I have never been real satisfied. Different pictures needed different settings to be good. But yesterday I found http://digikamplugins.free.fr/ImagesGallerySamples/MultipleAlbums/FilterImages/index.html
and I took a look at the basket in the pictures that shows how it looks after using Sharpen and Unsharp Mask. The basket is much sharper then using Sharpen than using Unsharp Mask. My experience have learned me that leaves and grass doesn't get any good with Unsharp Mask and that basket is the same kind of motive. Leaves and grass got blured instead of sharped. But then I tried with Sharpen everything become excellent. And with Sharpen I can use the same settings for all pictures no matter that the motive is with excellent results.
You can see pictures from my surroundings here in the paradise. http://www.burgsvik.se/favobilder/index.html I have batch processed them with Gwenview and the Kipi plugin Sharpen with the settings to 'Radius = 3' and 'Deviation = 1'.
