I'd say the culprit is not em-dashes, but the "simpleminded line-wrap".

I'm not a native English reader, so I may not be the best one to speak about English typography, but I have the feeling the most common styles are using em-dashes without spaces or using en-dashes, which are shorter, with spaces around.
