Angular includes a jquery lite library and can be used within your angular app. It's has a learning curve, but once you understand the fundamentals of Angularjs the benefits become pretty clear.
Some common jquery practices are made really easy with Angular (hiding/showing content, animations, applying styles conditionally). Plus, as a primarily front end developer it has expanded my development abilities (can create full stack applications, mobile apps more easily, ect).
And yeah, maintainability of your code should be easier with AngularJS.
