Well from my perspective Nidalee has tons of lane counters and I don't expect to dominate in my lane but a free farmed Nidalee is not going to be as much a threat as another late game solo top because most of the other late game solo tops bring allot more to the team. Nidalee has a small amount of utility and high mana costs so she basically sits in cougar form most of the time and tries to kill the enemy carries. If you go 1v1 against another tanky AD champion they will win unless they are stupid and step on a trap or chase you into your team or silly stuff like that. Most of countering AD Nidalee is merely outplaying her and building properly.

If the AD carry is having a hard time damaging her they need some MR because Nidalee still does quite a bit of Magic burst damage so a banshees and then a last whisper so that they can kill the Nidalee that goes for them every time. Nidalee in general is also exceptionally weak early game. If she pushes to far or is against a good harasser you can get a kill off her or push her out of lane. If her laning pre 6 goes bad and she gets nothing shortly after 6 she tends to become pretty useless the rest of the game especially if she went AD Nidalee because then she is relegated to trying to farm all game to get any decent items.

As for your little Vayne tidbit have you looked at all the crying about Vayne W on her page even after all the counters I listed? It is quite sad.
