Today I switched from i3wm to exwm. So far it's been awesome. Thanks indefinitely.
I missed a few features that might already exist but I'm not aware of.

1. Assigning apps to particular workspaces. In i3wm I can do something like assign [class="(?i)mpv"] $workspace3
   UPDATE: For 👆 got my answer here

2. Switch back and forth between two workspaces. Say I switch from workspace 1 to workspace 3 via s-3. If I press s-3 again it should switch back to workspace 1 (so I don't need to remember where I was).
   UPDATE: For 👆 got my answer here.

3. I'm using exwm-workspace-switch-to-buffer to find already opened applications. My problem is, say I'm in workspace 1, and Firefox is open in workspace 3, if I call exwm-workspace-switch-to-buffer for firefox, it brings Firefox to workspace 1 but I want it to switch to workspace 3 where Firefox resides and leave the workspace 1 intact. In i3wm I can do this by something like for_window [class="(?i)firefox"] focus

Thanks again.

To implement the first one you'll have to add a function to exwm-manage-finish-hook to detect the application (there's an example in the wiki) and switch to a certain workspace (with exwm-workspace-switch).

As for the third one, what should EXWM do when the user specifies a normal Emacs buffer? It can be displayed on multiple workspaces.

[fhdhsni]

I guess the desired behavior would be not switching workspaces in case of normal Emacs buffers (that is to keeping the current behavior).

I've implemented the third one in 19515dc. Just make sure exwm-layout-show-all-buffers is nil.

Thank you so much. It's really nice.
