Not me I'm afraid. Little from column a, little from column b I guess? Anything below 7/8mph is a struggle, it's happier from 10mph.
With the Nexus I believe it's the lowest gear that is direct drive and then 2-5 are overdriven, so 38/27 really isn't a very low bottom gear. I'd like to get a Rohloff eventually but I don't think they play with the Steps system.
