It's by far the slowest compared to Sublime Text 3 and Visual Studio Code. VSCode and Atom obviously suffer from being Electron based compared to ST3, so the comparison there isn't exactly fair, but VSCode is noticeably faster to load and snappier to work with even loaded up with third party plugins. I have a similar amount of plugins for each of the three (10-15) too, so no real difference there.
And honestly I don't see a marked difference in visuals between those three. After installing my zenburn colour scheme they're virtually identical with similar if not identical UI features.
I don't expect the Electron based editors to match ST3 for performance (at least not yet), but honestly it's kind of embarrassing how slow Atom is compared to VSCode, particularly when it comes to things like checking for package updates and just starting up.
This is all based on using all three editors within the last three months (I've been swapping around trying to find what I like).
