It's a bit more complex than that: kobo-dotfile-hack (the one in the thread) was put together in an hour or two and wasn't very future-proof or polished (in fact, an update a few releases after started using /etc/ld.so.preload for some optimized stdlib functions, which conflicts with kobo-dotfile-hack). Then, ExcludeSyncFolders was added by Kobo, but it took some time for @NiLuJe, @baskerville, and the others to figure out how to use it. That replaced kobo-dotfile-hack for the majority of people. Later on, after working on NickelHook, I decided to make an updated version, kobo-dotfile-hack-ng, mostly for myself and for testing NickelHook. This version is cleaner and a lot more future-proof.
TLDR: In general, I'd recommend ExcludeSyncFolders. But, if you don't like it for some reason, if you have trouble with it, or if you want it to persist through sign-outs, kobo-dotfile-hack-ng can be used instead. The original kobo-dotfile-hack is deprecated.
