The registry (at least in Windows) is not designed as a relational database, nor optimized for consistent reading and writing of data. There are also size limits to it, and if it gets too big, everything starts having problems. If you are talking about a development machine with one user, you might be okay for the registry (although even there I don't recommend it).
