It's not "this or that". AngularJS is a complementary framework for client side instead of server side.

That said, AngularJS can offload a lot of server side work. Mainly rendering views and the overall presentation layer. You can basically ditch your server side templating system and make your Rails, Django, PHP or node.js a simple REST API endpoint (with some additional auth system based on cookies or smth).
