Thanks for these suggestions. At least I now know I'm not missing too much. I, too, would very much like to use the TAB to get to the outside of auto-paired insertions. But, I will try Cmd-right-arrow or cmd-return for now.

I think a nice new feature here would be to allow the null-action of "tab" to be to jump over any auto-created paired-chars. Then we could just tab out of the nest and carry on. It must be very seldom that users want a real tab character inside paired-characters.

I use command+[right arrow]. They're close enough together on my macbook that I barely notice it. Granted, its the exact same number of keystrokes as pressing right-arrow twice.

See “Two useful shortcuts” here: http://macromates.com/textmate/ manual/working_with_text#auto-paired_characters_quotes_etc
I addition to those two extremely useful shortcuts:
Most of the time the line is ending after the "]", so using 'cmd + right arrow' or 'ctrl + e' works fine. You can also use 'option + right arrow' to go to the start of the next word.
