Am I correct that `DisposableEffect` and `LaunchedEffect` are essentially the same except that they use different methods to make the same thing: `DisposableEffect`’s block is blocking and disposes stuff with `onDispose` and `LaunchedEffect`’s block is suspending and disposes stuff with `scope.cancel()` ?

Are you actually allowed to call `scope.cancel()` ? I guess you could use `awaitCancellation()` .

Kinda, you can use one to awkwardly achieve the other but they are for quite different use cases.

yes; mechanically very related but in conceptual usage they probably won't overlap terribly often

My question arises from the animation API changes in alpha12 - all `animateTo` methods are changed to be suspending now. So I wonder if I can simply change old `DisposableEffect`  with `animateTo` to `LaunchedEffect` with new `animateTo` :)

yes :slightly_smiling_face: and the cleanup will be nicer since coroutine cancellation will do it for you
