One of the reasons why I use i3 is because I can dedicate a workspace for specific programs and a specific layout. What other wm allow this kind of configuration?

Almost all WMs have this feature

You can do this în KDE Plasma with window rules.

Hyprland has window rules

You can for example keep Discord on workspace 4 with windowrulev2 = workspace 4, class:discord

windowrulev2 exists because just windowrule works differently for legacy purposes

I think most WMs have something like this

I know it's almost unused by now, but Openbox let's you set specific, desktops, monitors and window position/size for any application
