jQuery is fine for regular websites and the like, but inadequate for large scale client apps. That's what Angular is for. There is not much benefit using angular to build your marketing site.

If you don't understand this, you understand neither Angular, nor jQuery.

He isn't comparing the features of Angular to the features of jquery at all, he is just comparing it to a framework that has stood the test of time due to it's simplicity. He doesn't explicitly say it but I am sure when he talks about 'easier' ways to do what you can do with Angular, I believe he means other similar frameworks e.g. Ember, Backbone etc.

Perhaps, but using Databinding comes at a price.

The moment you databind, you can't use nearly as many other libraries as easily or safely. This means you want as fully-featured a databinding library so you don't need other stuff.

There's tons of articles about providing Angularjs updating support when you use jQuery..it's (or used to be) just painful.
