I've spent a lot of time working with Django as a backend and AngularJS powering the client. It's definitely not a bad combination.
That said, in my personal projects, I lean towards letting Django handle almost all of the client experience too. There are exceptions for areas that are inherently interactive (e.g. WSYIWYG editor), but the vast majority of my projects involve static content. To me, the complexity and overhead of using a JS library/framework outweighs any benefits the library/framework might offer.
