I would like to comment on your criticism of ACE, because I think it needs to be updated.

ACE DOES allow to display empty categories in the list of categories to exclude: it’s an option you check in the first settings page.
ACE already allows for page exclusion, so the conflict with another plugin that offers the same functionality is not so relevant. Plus you should be using WP 3.0 menus if the site is getting big.

Also Simply Exclude is nice and lite, but does NOT offer anything near the functionality of ACE, for starters excluding things from sidebar widgets.

I don’t have any vested interest with the creators of ACE, but since your post is doing very well on Google, I wanted to share my thoughts on it.

Sorry for the harsh tone, fact is I enjoy the debate your post creates!

I would like to know the same as @carrie: how to exclude thumbnail (or all images for that matter) from showing in the feed?
I have tried many different ways of the query below, but none has the desired effect. Any suggestions would be very welcome!

if ($query->is_feed) {
$query->set(‘post_image’, ’0′);
