I wouldn't disagree with any of the above but don't forget to rotate smoothly to the correct pitch attitude as well.
If you do that the it will climb out nicely at the correct speed, and you can get it back on track easily once you have the pitch/speed nailed with rudder and a litle aileron if needed.
I have seen so many people in the sim get fixated with kicking the rudders rather than smoothly controlling the swing they end up chasing the speed and pitch all the way up to Acceleration height.
The other interesting one is an engine fire warning without loss of thrust where pilots start putting the boot in before the aircraft has even started to swing.
