There's probably an increased chance that whatever planets there are would either collide or at least interact gravitationally more often than ours do.

Also there is the chance of planets being slung shot out of their bi-solar systems completely or gobbled up by one of the suns.

It took life a long time to develop on earth. From the geological record it appears there were times of great change interspersed with long periods of relative stability.

Planets in a bi-solar system would most likely never experience any long periods of relative stability.
