My app (which I hope to release by next week) actually uses Core Data and WebKit too, but without the editing, so I may not be hitting the same rough edges that Karelia hit, but there were still quite a few tricky bits that had to be overcome. In hindsight, would I still have chosen to use Core Data? Absolutely.
Although I may have done all the same features using a non-Core Data approach in about the same amount of time(actually probably less time, since some of the rough edges did take alot of time to workaround), it still doesn't beat the fact that using Core Data (and Bindings) results in a lot less code to maintain. Less code to read and maintain is always a BIG plus (at least for me).
