It's ctrl+tab. And shift will reverse direction in both. It's nice and related.

And then there's MacOS, where cmd-tab doesn't cycle through windows, but through applications. Cmd-` cycles through windows of the same application. Because apparently, using multiple applications and multiple windows means you're a bad boy and need to be punished.

Weird, I never saw it as a punishment. It's actually a lot faster to get where you need to go, in my experience. Not having to filter through both application and window makes it take slightly less thought and effort than flipping through just one application's windows. Plus switching between applications is a lot easier when there are only five listed instead of five + 20 windows.

I guess it's dependent on the number of applications and windows you have going at any given time.
