I started working as a sysadmin about two years ago, and one of the first things I did was set up Nagios to monitor our company network and devices. I was only dimly aware of the Nagios/Icinga split, and since Nagios never gave me any trouble, I have not given it much thought since. But now I wonder - is there any technical reason to choose one over the other?

I'm in your position right now. I set up Nagios to monitor about 50 servers last year and now I'm almost done switching to Icinga2. I think it's worth it if you have spare time, but the major improvements I've actually noticed have been UX, clustering, and graphite plugins. other than that it's Nagios with a nice GUI. Not worth the switch if you have pressing issues at the moment.
