  every other IDE in the world uses tab, XCode uses Cmd-]
  wtf?
Textmate uses ⌘[, skEdit uses ⌘[, CSSEdit uses ⌘[, Coda uses ⌘[, BBEdit uses ⌘[.

Objective-C for me personally is probably the second language by elegance after Ruby.

Sure, but as counter-examples, take Eclipse, Visual Studio, Netbeans, Notepad++, Textpad, XMLSpy...

From your example, it's apparent that Mac-only editors use cmd-[. This is a great idea as it promotes cross-platform compatibility and makes life so much easier for developers. /snark

Likewise, I have a problem with Visual Studio and Eclipse, and their debuggers: F6 is step-over in Eclipse, and F11 is step-over in Visual Studio.

By the way, try using the Visual Studio debugger in a virtual machine on OS X. Another example of an awesome key-binding in OS X (who uses F11 anyway? Let's assign it to something system-wide!)
