Yes, the interface does look a bit complex first, but thats because its so configurable. Once you figure out the things you need, its a breeze to use. No it doesnt use the UART; you could use any pin for the bit banging.
Pity it only supports the 16F8XX chips, though; if you are able to adapt it for others, I would love to hear about it too... it was my preferred bootloader for a long time, till I had to switch over to the one from Mecanique. I still miss the flexibility and the option of not having to use a level shifter.
