Those are special cases of perspective projection, but they are non-physical because they ignore occlusion. I prefer perspective projections that correspond at least roughly to what a physical camera could see, or, more importantly, an eye. That's what I mean by "intuitive".
This is not true in theory (you can't get infinitely far away) or in practice (if you're far enough away to approximate orthographic projection you are too far away to see any detail with the naked eye).

Orthographic?
It's OK but still not what the eye sees.
Depends how far away you are?
