I love pictures that give me intuition about a proof and I agree that intuition is crucial to understanding. But all the intuition in the world is useless if the proof fails because of one tiny logically unsound step or one pathological corner case, so it's no good to ignore the technical details or, even worse, to become unable to expand a purpoted proof one has written into a fully detailed version, which I suppose can easily happen if someone relies too much on intuition.
