Sorry oostcoast but that is incorrect. We've had partial nickname support for many commands since the 2.90 days when I personally implemented most of them, however it was never intended as a replacement for /getid. What happens if Jay and BoogerJay are ingame? You still need to pass an ID as the parameter because it would return more than one result.
Edit: I do understand what you are implying however I still think we need a generic /getid command purely for the sake of reference and because everyone is used to the command. Sometimes I like to lookup an ID so I can see where they are in the scoreboard for example.
