In terms of Single Page Application frameworks, Angular is very popular. Comparing it to jQuery doesn't really make sense as jQuery is a utility library and doesn't support all of the features that Angular has.

That's hardly a fair comparison. jQuery is a library and Angular is a framework. IIRC, Angular depends on (at least a subset) of jQuery, so it could only approach usage and never exceed.
