Major Description
When you call var result = _couchClient.GetView(<etc.>), there is no exception thrown when the view does not exist. The program will only throw an exception when it attempts to access the data, ie: result.Count() will throw an exception.

Baking better exceptions into the view reading process and providing a CheckExists method.
The view isn't queried until the IEnumerable is actually iterated over. Therefore when you call GetView, there's no way to know that the view doesn't exist.
I will look into catching the 400 error and throwing a more meaningful exception.
