In my own experience, it's just as fast if not a tiny bit faster, but what it's _really_ good at is customisability. With sublime I tried once to write a small plugin for gofmt and go vet (I don't remember what was wrong with the existent ones), and I gave up because it was more complex than I anticipated. With Lite XL I did it in 10 minutes and about 20 lines of lua code (though I did use this other plugin, it's a kind of support for linters).

Whatever I wanted to do it felt like I can just open the config and hack on it. Sublime never felt this way.
