IKEA Home Planner Resource Roundup 
Ah, the IKEA Home Planner. A source of both delight and frustration. Over 8 million downloads in the last year alone, the IKEA Home Planner is on many a home PC (but not on Macs – more on that later). Much improved over years’ past, the IKEA Home Planner on your local computer is soon to be a thing of the past. IKEA’s moving to an online platform based on 20-20 software which will be Mac compatible since, well…it’s online.
Since it’s IKEA Kitchen Sale time, I thought I’d do a quick roundup of resources for those of you who may be new to the planner tool. It can be a bear to manage, so listen up!

I have no idea what 20-20 software is, but I DON’T WANT web “tool”. I want a downloadable program.
Just a better one, the current one is fairly primitive, there is no weblook and you can zoom in and out using the mouse wheel.
So if they don’t get better programmers for the web site its probably bad as well.
