Comment (by voldemortensen):

 I think
 `if(!nicename_exists( 'stuff' ) ) { things(); }`
 looks cleaner and more readable than
 `if(!get_user_by( 'slug', 'stuff' ) ) { things(); }`

 Which raises another issue of 'slug' being slightly confusing. It would
 make more sense if `get_user_by( 'nicename', 'stuff' )` available.
