I looked at a couple of articles/posts on Angular today.
There is this great article on Stack Overflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18414012/why-use-angularjs-instead-of-jquery Scroll down past the initial thing where it says the question was closed. The guy who wrote the response also had a link for a demo: http://jsbin.com/opogIroN/1/edit. Over all it looks like there’s some good promise to it — but it is my understanding that it has a bit of a learning curve. JS in and of itself has a learning curve, so it is probably good that we’re teaching you jQuery, which seems quite intuitive for front end development due to its ability to utilize CSS selectors.
There is also this page which show statistics of use on websites: http://w3techs.com/technologies/comparison/js-angularjs,js-jquery I think one of the major reasons that jquery is outstripping angular is that its been around longer and it is a core component in WordPress Websites — of which a lot of the world’s websites are built with.
And there is this article which suggests why you may want to use Angular for your next project: http://www.jeremyzerr.com/why-you-should-use-angularjs-your-next-web-application
