a swatch for roads, one for major contours, one for rivers and streams etc. They allow you to store named colours that are shared between every object you apply them to. Swatches are a feature for having per-document colour palettes - check out the Fill/Stroke dialog and you will see a button just after the pattern button. I do understand how to use the new gradient editor, and for normal gradient editing, I actually like it better than the old editor. After you do that, and with a gradient selected on the canvas, you can click the Edit Gradient icon/button in the Fill and Stroke dialog, and the old Gradient Editor will open. First, double-click on the Gradient tool button, to open Inkscape Preferences > Tools > Gradient and check "Use Legacy Gradient Editor".
However, if that's not to your liking, I discovered a way to get the old Gradient Editor back. They are essentially identical, and I think that's why developers thought the editor wasn't really needed. (You may have noticed a lot of similarity between the Fill and Stroke dialog and the old Gradient Editor. Once a stop has been selected, you will be able to edit it from the Fill and Stroke dialog. With the Gradient tool engaged, click on a stop (tiny diamond shaped handle on the longer gradient handle (including the beginning and ending stops, which are a square on one end and circle on the other). Editing gradients is a little different in 0.91, so it's all on-canvas now. I'm not entirely clear what you mean by "swatches", but it sounds like you seem to have lost the ability to edit the gradient stops.
