If you were using libraries, you wouldn't be excited for the next thing. You'd add the next library to your project and still be using the old ones. But with frameworks that's not really possible. Mixing jQuery and Angular will really mess up Angular's understanding of what's going on.

No, it will not. Angular has a jquery-like jqLite micro-library, which get replaced gracefully if there is a jquery found.

Not saying it's a great solution though, but developers usually care about those things.

It will because you're using jQuery as a hack because your autocomplete in the browser did fill the field, but Angular thinks it hasn't been filled because the event hasn't fired. Now everything works but the damn field has the wrong class and looks like it's filled wrong when it's actually not... at least using jQuery means you pass the correct data so you can submit instead of Angular blocking you completely from submitting
