My only gripe with the shift to client side MVC frameworks and such (which although I like!), is that it often makes handling security (from authorization perspective) a bit difficult, at the end of the day I cannot have my authorization based presentation logic in the front end since it can be easily manipulated.

I don't think anyone is advocating this kind of development. In general you can't trust anything the client tells you, so to release information to a client that has not provided proper authentication credentials to the server is a mistake.
