I, am/was a big fan of Angular, but on a recent project decided we didn't have the right team composition for a lot of the coding styles and complexities angular introduces. We went with a JQuery/Knockout solution, too. Some of the devs still struggle to keep the viewmodels clean, but being able to integrate from knockout to existing JQuery plugins has been a big win. Writing custom angular directives, adding another layer to existing Jquery is a pain for a lot of front end developers, and likely overkill for many projects.

(to give scope size, we're replacing a several hundred screen Adobe Flex app with our new KO/JQuery app)
