Looking for a no-charge or low-cost easy-to-use kitchen design package.

Must run on Windows, would be most excellent if it also runs on OSX and
its files are fully compatible between the two.

Tried Ikea's and found it unbelievably bad. I thought I had remembered
some people saying it was quite good!

I really don't need anything very fancy - kitchen will end up quite
simple. Doesn't need to be totally integrated to one company's products.

Best bespoke free software I found was from the German company Alno.
I don't think it was too easy to find the app last time I looked
but it's worth persevering and digging around their
site.

Runs fine on older Windows versions, haven't tried it on later than XP.

Define the area in plan view and drag the various units into
place. V good range of library parts.
Then view in 3d. Change colour of doors floor etc. Can't recommend
it highly enough if still available.

Want it to work on W10. :-( Will persevere and see what I can achieve.

Installs OK and seems to work fine - so far. :-)
