I am new(ish) to the whole javascript full stack applications, and completely new to Angular, so I was hoping somebody can put the record straight for me here.

Answer 1

I've read all the answers above and was a bit surprised no one had mentioned one aspect which makes using jade over generating AngularJS templates a very useful thing.

As it already been told, in production, realistic scenarios difference between typing raw html and jade is actually notable, but the more important thing we should never forget is that sometimes we need dynamically changed and reinitialized angularjs templates.

To put it simple, sometimes we need to change html via innerHTML and then force AngularJS to recompile contents. And this is exactly the type of task when generating such views via jade can have it benefits.

Also, AngularJS works well with models, which structure is by definition well known. Actually, it happens that we actually don't know the exact structure (imagine, say, JSON renderer). AngularJS will be quite clumsy here (even if were are building an angular app), while jade will do the job.
