Um,... no. Why would you want full jQuery and load additional X kilobytes of javascript when in reality, Angular enables you to develop same functionality that many jQuery plugins (via directives) with ease, and way less code. It's a bit more work, no argument there, but I end up with more maintainable code, organised as I see fit. Faster and easier debugging, less dependencies and faster load time. And Angular isn't made to be used with jQuery (or not to be used for that matter). In fact, it's advisable to completely remove it in order to fully understand, appreciate and use Angular's internals. Otherwise you're using two huge frameworks (in terms of KB and complexity) and only use small parts of them.
