I use it in an enterprise production application.

Angular includes a jquery lite library and can be used within your angular app. It's has a learning curve, but once you understand the fundamentals of Angularjs the benefits become pretty clear.

Some common jquery practices are made really easy with Angular (hiding/showing content, animations, applying styles conditionally). Plus, as a primarily front end developer it has expanded my development abilities (can create full stack applications, mobile apps more easily, ect).

And yeah, maintainability of your code should be easier with AngularJS.

Precisely! I have been going to through the documentation and it amazes me every time I come across a directive. You are absolutely right, maintainability of code will be good enough for me to start migrating my app.
You can grab a uDemy course on Angular for ~$15 (40% off sale going on today, I believe). The courses are an easy way to jump into Angular and build simple applications from day 1. It will introduce you to the fundamentals of AngularJS and can replicate many o fthe use cases of jquery.
