Now, are bootloaders realy the best "entry-point" to PICs ?
Doesn't the bootloader itself put some (even if minor)
limitations on both the hardware and the software ?

IMHO, bootloaders *do* have a clear use in installed systems
to make updates easier, but for general/hobby development, it's
easier to run without it, I think. Easier to use the dev tools
"out-of-the-box" and to implement code examples you've found
somewhere.
