Of course using Ibuffer to operate on the current buffer can be tiring
if you do it often, because you have to locate the buffer in the list.
I use the following to make point jump to the last buffer when entering
Ibuffer, I find it very convenient (e.g. C-x C-b = always works):

(add-hook 'ibuffer-hook
	  (lambda () (ibuffer-jump-to-buffer
		      (buffer-name (other-buffer (current-buffer) t)))))
