The keyboard shortcuts were selected by Apple, and it's not standard  
Mac behavior to let tab indent the block (and I personally do  
regularly need to overwrite my selection with a tab character).

That said, in addition to command-[ and ], you can use option-tab and  
option-shift-tab to indent left/right.
