He isn't comparing the features of Angular to the features of jquery at all, he is just comparing it to a framework that has stood the test of time due to it's simplicity. He doesn't explicitly say it but I am sure when he talks about 'easier' ways to do what you can do with Angular, I believe he means other similar frameworks e.g. Ember, Backbone etc.
The moment you databind, you can't use nearly as many other libraries as easily or safely. This means you want as fully-featured a databinding library so you don't need other stuff.
There's tons of articles about providing Angularjs updating support when you use jQuery..it's (or used to be) just painful.

Perhaps, but using Databinding comes at a price.
