AngularJS is a fine solution for pure front-end' development. It is also an excellent library for presenting binding/showing 'back-end' data to the front-end too. It provides many mechanisms for dynamic website interfaces built-in that you need to develop from scratch with jQuery. The initial learning curve is a little steep but it settles quickly and then picks up again and then settles. Note, for granular DOM manipulation you need to use jQuery/JS anyway ...the question is *when*? DOM manipulations are done inside custom directives which is one of the more 'advanced' features of AngularJS.
At the end, if you and your developers have the time and desire to learn a new system from ground up then go with AngularJS--it will prove to be a great investment. If not, the jQuery/JS it is.
