Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Replying to [comment:1 nacin]:
 > I'd rather encourage usage of get_user_by(), which is a bit newer than
 the other _exists() functions. Thoughts?

 I agree. Getting a user by slug isn't as common as by ID or email (we only
 do that [source:tags/4.1/src/wp-includes/query.php#L2798 once] in core),
 so this seems like unnecessary abstraction to me.
