> Xcode doesn't even have file tabs, but sth. I'd describe as big "whole-UI-tabs"

I think this is an intentional interaction design. When you are always working with hundreds or thousands of source files, tabs kind of lose their meaning. The fuzzy-search quick open panel and project-wide find become your main dependency for quickly jumping around your codebase (with the benefit that you don't need to touch the mouse).

FWIW, in VS you can switch between tabs with Ctrl-Tab (and toolbars by pressing Ctrl-Tab, holding Ctrl and navigating with the cursor keys).
Ctrl+Tab works pretty much in every app with tabs. Very useful shortcut.
