Very cool (I tried to get 8 on fedora, but think I was missing it somehow.).
I also noticed if I run in EMS (course I need to buy it)it positions me on
the error if I am in the editor not the builder.

I am a little afraid of using 8 as it is brand new, and this will be on a
production machine. I could use 8 for development and 7 for production I
guess.

PG 8.0 produces more useful output.  A trivial example:

regression=# select
regression-#    1/0 as a,
regression-#    1/ as b,
regression-#    1/2 as c;
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "as" at character 27
LINE 3:    1/ as b,
              ^
regression=#
