Yes, "favor on mankind" would have worked, too. You could even go so far as to say (instead of "to men of good will") "to mankind, in whom He delights", or "to people, in whom He takes pleasure".
Funny, to hear some preachers talk, you would think that God was just mad at us all the time! This is really good news, and ties in with John 3:16.
