JQuery vs AngularJS comparison is reasonable because many developers will know JQuery and wonder what that new AngularJS thing offers them. That's why the following epic stackoverflow answer has 6000+ upvotes:

Also, bloggers will often compare them as the following article does (HN discussed it previously):

So yes, JQuery vs AngularJS is like comparing apples & oranges but one way to reach the understanding of why it's apples and oranges is to explicitly compare them!

While many line-item features of AngularJS and JQuery do not overlap, they do overlap in devs' mindshare to program a web page. Hence, the comparisons will continue.
