Depends on your definition of aggressive. Positivey but smoothly easing the stick back or forward a few degrees at the most is all that is required (at least in my experience in real RAs and in the SIM). I would definitely not class following an RA as requiring aggressive handling.

We get a special FD symbol which is red and as soon as you follow it, it turns green. So you keep the airplane in the green and everythings fine.

Goes to show what progressive companies can do. I appreciate that airliners have more-strict certification requirements, but having to turn off your FD (Airbus) when following an RA? Is it really that hard to modify the software to be more user-friendly? Although I will say that Flight Intl wrote a few months back that Airbus is looking at the autopilot following RAs automatically. That would be good.
