What does opposition to the luxurious life of the Umayyads suggest about what is important to most Muslims?
The resistance of the luxurious lifestyle that the Umayyads promoted, shows that Muslims believed happiness came from different things. They believed that their paradise is in their after life.
The opposition to the Umayyads' lifestyle also developed in the cultural clash between the Arab Bedouin culture which promoted egalitarianism and retaining few possessions and the Byzantine and Sassanian cultures which were of a majestic, imperial nature. Most Muslims at the time associated Islam with the culture of the former and the Umayyads represented a continuation of the latter.

How did the Muslims feel about the Abbasids taking power in 750?
Knowing how people "feel" is difficult to gauge across history. We know that the Mawali (Non-Arab Muslims) approved of the Abbassids because they (unlike the Umayyads) granted equal privileges to Arab Muslims and Mawali. The Shiites quickly became disenchanted with the Abbassids since the Abbassids did not intend to install a Shiite leader at the head of the Caliphate and began to organize in opposition to Abbassid Rule. The remainder of the Muslim community seems relatively unfazed by the change from Umayyads to Abbassids.

Non-Revolters, I guess. There is no particular term for those who accepted the imperial right of the Umayyads.

The Sunnis who did not necessarily concede the Umayyads the right to rule were the Mawali or non-Arab Muslims who suffered under Umayyad pro-Arab discrimination.
