I am creating an RSS reader purely for my own educational purposes and am so far using plists to persist the feed references, unread counts etc.
Is this a wise choice or would I be better placed using core data instead?

Probably. Plists are fine for small amounts of data (especially things like storing preferences), but once you start having a lot of feeds and related information, you’ll want to be using sqlite under the hood.
