ArchiCAD for kitchen design sound a bit like using a sledge hammer to crack a nut! Ex ArchiCAD user here. I decided SU was far more fun for designing and modelling and still do; but as you may be reading elsewhere the "pro" Layout aspect has many frustrations, and some benefits. Unfortunately for Layout commercial pressure has taken over and I now export my views as dwg and xref them into AutoCAD LT due to file sharing compatibility issues with dwg (Do a search on "DWG Export" and you will find a list of the issues I had). I really liked a lot about Layout but the frustrations of achieving what I needed to do were costing me, not the client, money. There are alternatives to AutoCAD LT e.g. Dassault Systeme's Draftsight which is free if Layout doesn't meet your 2D requirements.
